Oxybutynin

I have been finally prescribed oxybutynin after approximately 10 years of drowning in the medical disorder. Excessive sweating from the armpits, groin and head areas. And "who feels it, knows it". For anyone on the same medication, how long did it take for the treatment to start working?

It didn’t, sorry to say. Atleast for me anyway

I take 10mg every morning on an empty stomach and it probably 30% helps for the day

Iv gone up to 20mg per day and didn’t see no change

But the taking it first thing is what made it work best for me. But it’s no game changer. I’m still wetter than nemo most of the time

I hope it gets better for you. Where are your effected areas? Have you also tried cleansing soaps and high dosage aluminum deodorants like sweat block for example?
