It just starts sometimes for no reason, if I’m out it’s is so embarrassing , it’s depressing me as I no longer look forward to social events and find it’s really affecting my life. I have a family wedding in July which I am dreading because of it. All necklines of clothes get soaked . I am so aware of it all the time and feel very anxious. I haven’t discussed this with a dr. I find it very embarrassing.
Thankyou so much . You have been very helpful
I'm new to this group but not new to hyperhidrosis. I'm currently 55 but my first memory of excessive sweating was on the playground in 5th or 6th grade. No one wanted to share their baseball mitt with me because my sweating made it sopping wet. Fast forward to my late 20s when I discovered oxybutynin and my life changed. I was finally able to manage my excessive sweating and felt a lot more comfortable in my skin. Recently the oxybutynin manufacturer I had been using (Apotex) no longer produces… read more
I too was put on those oxy's. All it did was dry my mouth out. It didnt help with my sweats at all. I guess each case is differant on what works.
I've had this problem since I was a teenager. I was always the one who looked like I'd been in a sauna after marching band practice, physical activity, or when forced to be outside in hot weather. I… read more

Has anyone heard that the medication used for treating hyperhidrosis can lead to memory loss. This is what my dermatologist told me. I’m 71 so worried about this possible side effect
Which medications was your dermatologist talking about? I had not heard this yet but I too am interested.
My Gp is not very helpful so looking for recommendations for constant sweating head and soaking hair please. Thank you
My hyperhidrosis is very similar to yours Mernie. My doctor recently placed me on Clonidine. It is used for seizures but, one of the side effects is that it causes you not to sweat. Finally, NO… read more
I read once that starting the menopause can trigger hyperhydrosis, I get this on my head and believe menopause may have triggered it in me, anyone else think this?😅
Yes. In the middle of winter I am often asked "Aren't you cold"? No!
I get hot flashes continuously, which always comes with going red and sweating so bad my clothes soak in minutes. If it's chilly outside steam will actually come off my head. Been tested for so many things and seen soo many doctors who have all given up on me even though they've seen it. My head and face are the worst though. It's a constant drip, it's ridiculous. I hate leaving my house. Anyone deal with something similar? Also im 26 years old 5'0 tall 220lbs.
Thank god you folks are here I thought I was the only one who couldn’t wear makeup or go to certain events My head is like a leaky faucet, drip drip drip soooo embarrassing.
Is there any herbal treatments for Hyperhidrosis?
I took menopace for a lng while it did nothing,
