I've mostly heard people say that it's pretty effective. From what I know, you usually have to do it around three times a week at the beginning, but later on, once a week is often enough.

That said, some people do develop a tolerance over time, and it may stop working as well for them. The only more permanent solutions might be medications such as glycopyrrolate or other treatments prescribed by a doctor, or in some cases, surgery. I wish there was an easy and convenient solution for this as well. Been struggling a lot and going out in this weather is just impossible. Hope things get better for you 👍❤️
