I never write reviews, but felt the need to share my story about this product. I am almost 30, and have had HH for as long as I can remember. It has affected my life the same way it has affected all of you.. (the dreaded handshake, papers getting wet while writing, avoiding social functions, etc). After lurking around here for years on and off, I read a thread about Avert and decided to give it a shot. I ordered a bottle of 1mg and waited anxiously for it to arrive. I'm not a pill person, and usually avoid taking any kind of medication at all costs.. so I started with 1 pill.. and nothing happened. I decided to take 2 the next day.. and nothing happened. I took 3 the following day.. still nothing. I was really disappointed I had gotten my hopes up and decided to not take them anymore. A few weeks went by and I decided to give it another shot considering the pharmacy said you can take up to 8mg a day. I took 2 in the morning (around 7am).. and then took another 2 around 1:00 in the afternoon. Around 4:00 I noticed my throat was becoming scratchy and my mouth really dry. I try making my hands sweat, and I can't do it! I try not getting too excited because I don't exactly know whats going on yet. The rest of the night goes on and I am still 100% dry. The following day I had an event where meeting new people would be involved (that was why I tried giving Avert another shot to begin with).. I did the same amount the next day.. and was 100% completely dry for ALL handshakes throughout the night. It is an amazing product.. and it has changed my life. I now know I have the option to take these whenever I am going to a social function.
There are a few negatives though. I would never be able to take these everyday. They make my mouth so dry I have to always be drinking water and chewing gum. I feel a tiny bit clouded mentally and not being able to sweat at all (even when its hot) almost puts my mind into panic mode. I've had 2 long drinking nights out with it.. and I've been okay.. but you just feel a little "off".
I will probably try Botox one day if I can find an experienced doctor.. because the side effects of these pills are not something I could deal with on a daily basis. BUT, its amazing and comforting to know.. there is something that can make you 100% dry when you need it.
