I can't stop sweating

A doctor can write you a prescription if it's really bad. Are you eating a lot of garlic? This tends to make me sweat more. I use the secret platinum and it works better than mitchim for me.

Watch what happens. Your body temperature will be more regulated, you'll feel more calm and relaxed, and you might notice other seemingly unrelated symptoms disappearing as well, such as headaches. You'll probably even shed a few extra pounds. It sounds deceptively simple, but try it.

I discovered this accidentally. I've had trouble with cold/sweaty hands for a long time and since consuming a lot more water I noticed I wasn't having the problems as much. I didn't realize that your water intake actually regulates your body temperature, improves circulation, and does a whole lot of other stuff until I started reading up on it. I also noticed a drastic difference when I cut out coffee and substituted it with green tea. It could also be related to me increasing fresh, raw, leafy green vegetables in my diet as well.

It seems to me that excessive sweating is directly related to anxiety, low water intake, high amounts of caffeine, and poor diet. Fix these things first before trying to stop your body's natural cooling functions by trying to "plug" up your pores with all kinds of chemicals. You're only treating the symptom. Try to find the cause, and for everyone it might be different. But I do think that anxiety is the biggest one. If you don't exercise, start. Try yoga. Change your diet. Eliminate all the garbage you put in your body. Try everything you can naturally before resorting to putting poison like botox in your body or chopping up your sympathetic nerves in surgery.


Sweating increases in the presence of stress and anxiety, but different people have different metabolisms and different bodies.

There are those that sweat in a normal way, and when they get nervous, of course, sweat more and you can notice it. But then you can also find those that even before getting nervous already are quite sweaty because they naturally sweat a lot.

Nevertheless, all of the facts above are really important but I do consider that anxiety is not the biggest one, your own body's way of functioning should go first. Some might just have better luck than others.

It is true that finding a natural solution can be the best, but don't you think that accommodating your whole life so that you can relief the problem is more complicated than just solve it by some injections a couple of times a year? In both cases you become prisoner of the "disease", but it is up to everybody to chose what they consider is best for them.

But yeah, having a healthy lifestyle would solve and relief many problems and even give you some extra years of quality life.

Yes, true.

Well sure, tackling the underlying cause is going to be a little more work, but from my point of view it's worth it, and also less expensive. I'm very cautious of botox. That **** should probably be illegal.

I'm sure the needle going into your armpit is going to hurt like ****.

this prob might go away by itself after a while. in the meanwhile try something like "hydrosal" or however you spell it.

If you're sweating when you're just sitting around watching TV (i.e. not exerting yourself in any way), you likely have hyperhidrosis. As others have already said, I can't recommend DrySol more highly. It's prescription-only here in the U.S., but it's simple, cheap and effective.

I used to have major underarm sweating issues and this stuff stopped it dead in its tracks. It can also be used for any other area of the body - hands, feet, groin, etc. You apply it at night, cover up the affected area with a shirt/sock/etc. and shower it off in the morning.

For the first 2 weeks, I applied it twice a week. Now I only have to apply it once every 4-6 weeks. Works like a charm...

For some reason I always understood that excess sweating, especially at night, was the product of unbalanced (excessive) blood sugar.

I didn't read everyone's posts, so forgive me if I'm repeating:

First, Use CertainDry, the strongest over-the-counter antiperspirant. Follow the directions, they're different from most.

Next, go to a Dermatologist and get a Rx-strength antiperspirant, like DrySol.

If all else fails, you can investigate the use of botox injections into the nerves that stimulate this particular sweating - I have heard that this can work wonders.

Well there is a lot of logical explanations for that fact, the most simple, is that if your body has increased body fat that will contribute mainly to sweating that´s the most easy explanation.
But there are other things that may cause sweating and that is due to our genetics and psychology, sometimes sweating is something that your body produces without any metaphysic reason and it doesn't´t have to do with nothing in specific, but it can happen other times due to how we deal with life and how we are as persons if you are more apprehensive, nervous and uncomfortable your brain produces more sweating.
Otherwise you are suffering from hyperhydrosis for that you can consult a doctor......................!

Just try it, it will really help you... I suggest this to everyone who hasn't tried it, and has a sweating problem I find them in my local CVS.
Id like to try this but I absolutely cant find it anywhere, online or off. Has it disappeared since your post? If anyone has the google-fu to find some for sale I would be most grateful!

 

[constant struggle]

it is discontinued
you can buy one on ebay
believe me it is worth it

 

[BryanHarig]

All the ones I see on ebay are marked 'womens'. Is it fragranced such that a man should avoid it?

Is there a current product that has replaced it? If not, why was it available for such a short time?
