excessive,extreme sweating

What medicine can I take to keep me from extreme sweating almost all the time. I sweat well pour sweat from my face, head and back. It can be freezing outside or inside and for no reason just start sweating horriable. So what medicines are there to help me from sweating its missiralbe, I can't get dressed after a shower because I'm soaking wet from sweat, its like I never took a shower. I can't put on make-up because I'm sweating and if by chance I can stop sweating long enough to put my make up on it just sweats right off in an instant. Please Help Me!

And be careful, this happened to me while I was on Wellbutrin, my electrolytes went dangerously low. I was sweating everything out. And the wellbutrin was also an appetite suppressant so that certainly didn't help matters either.....

I'm not saying this will happen to you or that the low sodium/potassium was the wellbutrin alone, although I certainly haven't had any of those things happen since stopping......but it was a factor.

I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem. I am on alot of meds for lupus, so I think one or more of them is causing it, or maybe it is my lupus doing it, but my doctors just don't seem to think it is important to do anything... I am miserable. I change my clothes two and three times a day. I shower two times a day... I hate it. My husband, bless his heart, put central air conditioning in our home, and I have it set at 68 degrees and I STILL sweat from my head.  (YOu are the first person I read about that sweats from the head, too.)  So, I don't know how to help you, except to say you should talk to your dr. But, I wanted to tell you that you aren't alone... I will pray for you, ok?  Because I know how horrible it is.  I hope you find help.  I hope I find help, too!  Good luck.

  I have been suffering from hyperhydrosis for 15yrs. It now is getting progressively worse and I'm at my wits end! I only sweat if I'm mildly active. I can sit and read a book all day and I don't sweat at all but god forbid I have to get up to change my bed or vacuum I am dripping wet! I now fear going outside. It can be 0 degrees and I'm all wet. I no longer have any embarrassment, it's just too overwhelming to bother about something that small. My hair is dripping my undergarments are damp and all I want to do is to get home, fling those damp clothes off and sit for about 20mins until it stops pouring and pouring. I cannot live like this. My life is being destroyed!
I sweat mostly from my head. And on the 5th. of Jan. I"m getting botox injections in my scalp!  I am elated!! I don't care what it would take to bring me out of my misery because I can on longer go on in this state I'm now in. I will update my results.
  I thought I was alone in this. No one seemed to understand and would poo poo sweating to be such a handicap. Well, they're quite wrong aren't they?
