With warm weather pretty much here, my HH is in full effect, and I feel like crap! Excessive sweating everywhere (except my armpits, stomach and back?), and disgusting, clammy skin is driving me crazy. I have a hard time sitting through class when I am sweating and overheated. In fact, I often leave to put water on my face (which interferes with note-taking).
I took Ditropan in the past, and had early success. But as my HH has gotten worse, the dosage had to be increased to unacceptable levels. Side-effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, and overheating/red skin were too much.
My doctor decided to put me on Oxytrol last week, which is the "patch" version of oxybutynin. Because it is not metabolized, it may have fewer side effects. My doctor theorized that I could use a higher dosage than with the oral version. I will let you all know how it goes......
