Let's talk about how we can make iontophoresis more efficient?

I got an idrostar around 3 months back. It worked great at first as I followed the daily session of 1,2,4,7,10,15,22. And I started doing maintenance like once evry week but the sweat wasn't 100% dry like when I first started. So anyway, I think I might have neglected doing any sessions for 2 weeks, and I did an hour session, but it didn't help at all. My sweating went back to normal, and I started doing daily sessions for a week now. My hands are still sweaty. (and other areas, I have overall hh, but all I care about is my hands. When hands are relieved, axillary sweating is decreased a lot too).

1) I added baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) a couple of days ago to see if it helps.

2) Do you think if your hands are dry the results would be better? If that's the case, I could gulp a couple of ditropans and wait till i'm dry and do the sessions.

3) Where can one get glycopyrrolate? There's none here in Lebanon.

Anyway, I'd love to make this topic on how to make things more efficient.

4) Btw, is a higher current on hands better (I can handle the max of 28 ma, but I'm usually around the 18-20 mark)?

5) What do you think is the best method of time usage to use?

6) Can someone build tolerance to iontophoresis?

I really need all the help I can get because nothing worked for me, from botox to pills to everything. Ionto was the best but it's now going away. I hope it works again.

I've never really added baking soda to my Ionto treatments so can't help with this.

2) Do you think if your hands are dry the results would be better? If that's the case, I could gulp a couple of ditropans and wait till i'm dry and do the sessions.
I've wondered this also. I think it's better NOT to take any ditro, avert, etc. before Ionto sessions. I think allowing the pores in your hands to be open and able to accept the minerals in the water helps the effectiveness of the treatments. This is must my opinion though. I've tried taking Avert before sessions in the past, and found it less effective.

3) Where can one get glycopyrrolate? There's none here in Lebanon.
I order mine (although I haven't ordered any in about a year) from pharmacy.ca - Canada's internet pharmacy . They are a pharmacy in Toronto. Don't know if thye ship to Lebanon though.

4) Btw, is a higher current on hands better (I can handle the max of 28 ma, but I'm usually around the 18-20 mark)?
You should use the highest current you can tolerate for at least 30 mins.

5) What do you think is the best method of time usage to use?
In my opinion, a minimum of 30 mins. sessions is required. Also, consistency is crucial. Try not to miss more than a day between sessions. Personally, I usually perform sessions of approx. 40-60 mins. I think the longer the sessions, the better. But again, consistency is crucial.

6) Can someone build tolerance to iontophoresis?
I've wondered this also. I've gotten feedback from people who have been using Ionotphoresis for more than 10 years and they say it still works for them.

If Iontophoresis worked for you once, I'm willing to bet it will work for you again.

Thanks so much for your input. I did my treatment today, and my right hand was sweating like hell. On my left hand you could see patches of sweat. I'm not really sure what this means. Anyone can interpret this?
