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 take clonozapan for restless leg syndrome but am told its also used for parkinsons, I also take Zoloft for deression is clonozapan like Benztropine? if so it does not help with sweating. What kind of a dr should I see for hyperhidrosis?

I have fibromyalgia too and my white blood cells are always high. Perhaps all this sweating is just one of the myriad of fibro symptoms.
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.

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.
Facial sweating is destroying my confidence to go to work, it's not classed as a disability and i have to endure working while sweat is actually dripping from my face, my hair looks like i've been swimming. Starting to become severely depressed in tears when i'm at home most of the time, could really do with some support and ideas about this.
