Dear Trotter, I feel your pain. Please read my posts about Tranxene. It is an anti-seizure medication, which at a very low dose, cured my sweating completely. Sweat literally dripped off of my hands, especially if I was nervous, anxious, etc., since I was 5 years old. My doctor worked diligently wit...

How do I add my own remedy? Thanks!

I talked to my ob/gyn today about how Tranxene has cured my sweating. She was very intrigued and wondered if it could possibly help menopausal women with sweating. She had never heard of it.

My hands have been dry ever since. My Dr. explained that I would have to take it for the rest of my life, but he thou...

My hands have sweated profusely since first grade. My sweaty palms would smear my work at school. I dared not hold a boy's hand as a teenager. I have worked in an office since the age of 25. I ruined keyboards with my hand sweating. I dreaded meeting clients because they always wanted to be polite a...
