I know I have never posted before or anything but for about 3 or 4 years I having been using this forum (kinda in the shadows lol) to try and get help me with this horrible condition. From time to time I would read posted stories and treatments that everyone was doing in order to try and combat my particular condition. For me, my sweating really started to bother me near the end of my junior year of high school. Basically, I guess I would classify my sweating as moderate but bothersome nonetheless. I don’t drip, but I would sweat enough so that you could visually see it. I would sweat from my hands, feet, underarms, trunk area, and face when I got really really nervous (beads would run down the side of my face). So with this, my sweating was triggered due to stressful situations and/or anxiety. Even by thinking about something stressful or sweating , I would start to sweat. I fought with this condition throughout my undergraduate years in college. Don’t get me wrong, I had a great time and did well…but in certain instances like presentations, social events, and of course the females…it was hell to try and hide…even tho I considered myself a somewhat social person. Thru this time, I tried everything. I bought all types of topical solutions and gels, but those were only successful with stopping my underarm sweat. I then tried botox injections for my hands which as we all kno were very painful, but were only like 75% effective for like 2 months !! And lastly I bought a Fischer machine, which helped 60% with my hands and feet…but as we all kno gets time consuming sometimes.
Thru all of this my parents were very supportive, in which I am lucky. Even tho some of these treatments were effective in their own ways…I was still never a 100% satisfied. Every now and then I saw ppl using avert here on this forum…but the side effects made me kinda stray away from that option. But about 3 weeks ago, I got fed up all together with this BS condition and decided to give it a shot….just to see what would happen. I can now say for the time being this medication has changed my life. I have a rediscovered confidence from when I was in early high school and middle school that I had since lost due to this dreadful condition. I have been taking the medicine for the past four days while I have been away for school meetings ( I figured it would be a good test), and I have been BONEDRY EVERYWHERE everyday since. I only take one 2mg capsule in the morning and I good for the day. I have had hardly any noticeable side effects from it. I do get dry mouth from time to time, but it in my opinion it is very mild and very tolerable. I can just chew a piece of gum and be good. Once or Twice thru out these 4 days I did have some stomach aches…but again they almost felt like gas more than anything lol. But yea, its safe to say this drug has changed my life for the better in a HUGE way. As a 23year old now I wish I would have tried it about 4years ago lol. Oh well, I still have some more schooling to go. But yea if anything changes, I’ll keep you all up to date. This forum has really been a godsend for me and I appreciate everyone who has posted things on here.
