Feeling Overwhelmed by Hyperhidrosis - Desperate for Treatment Advice and Support

Actually can’t take this anymore—I've been dealing with hyperhidrosis and craniofacial hyperhidrosis my whole life. I’m 27 and male, and it’s really impacting my social life, work life, and overall well-being. The sweating kicks in and triggers so much anxiety that it just makes everything worse…

Yesterday, during a doctor’s appointment, I started sweating buckets just a few minutes in and couldn’t control it at all. I’ve seen many doctors and was prescribed Oxybutynin. I was on it for ages, increasing the dosage over time, but the side effects were tough—dry mouth, difficulty urinating, and feeling dizzy and lightheaded during the day. The sweating didn’t improve much, and the side effects were unbearable. I mainly sweat on my face, but also on my hands, feet, and body. It even affects my work life; I can’t attend meetings or social events without worrying about this issue.

I tried to go private through my work scheme, but unfortunately, it’s not covered, so I’m relying on NHS services for now. My next appointment isn’t until the end of next month. I’m open to paying for Botox treatment for craniofacial hyperhidrosis. Has anyone tried this? If so, could you let me know or PM me with details on what the treatment was like?

Any recommendations or suggestions for other treatments I could discuss with my doctor would also be greatly appreciated. This is seriously affecting my life, so any help would be awesome.
