I just recieved the 0.5% cream today, I wanted stronger but i'll see how this goes (the 0.05% was just too weak). There's another guy on the ESFB forum called Dezza who has the 1% strength cream. He said he's gonna report back on it as well.
Jezza: When I started out using the glycopyrrolate solution, I would say it effected other areas as well. In the reports it says glycopyrrolate with iontophoresis has systemic as well as local effects, meaning if you were to use it on your hands, it could well dry your armpits to some extent lol. That's why we also get a dry mouth, eyes and nose.
Yeah, I knew their would be some systemic effects like the dry mouth etc but I didn't know if it would be enough to also help the sweating on other parts noticeably, since it is only .05% solution and primarily aimed at treating hands and feet without affecting the rest of the body as much as oral medication...so your first hand experience helps in that respect...
Really hoping the glyco cream is going to work...

Told the doctor the 0.5% cream wasn't working.. he's prescribed me 1% now. He said we'd go up to 4% or more until we find something that works but I don't fancy going back and forth to the doctors many more times.
Got probanthine on prescription again as a back up. When asked he told me robinul (glycopyrrolate) is available, but he really wouldn't like to prescribe it because it completely dries out your body, he told me its prescribed to people who are dying Worst comes worse I may ask again but he was really reluctant.
I asked about aluminim chloride stronger than 20%.. doesn't seem anything like that exists. Would probably have to ask a dermatologist that if you really wanted to know. I've been using driclor on my fingers and it doesnt really do anything. Very mild difference if any.
My hands were really red in the doctors as well. Skin must be flushing because it's overheating or something.
Pff...My high hopes for this cream are beginning to wane a little. However, did you endure any side effects or nothing of that either?
Btw, aluminiumchloride is available in 30% solutions...
I've tried it (think it was called AHC forte), works a little on my armpits (but they never were the most imminent problem)...However, I don't see a difference with 20% in that respect...it works for a while then the effect wears off.
Then if I haven't used it for some time it works again. When I say it works though that doesn't mean it's absolutely dry, but the sweating is reduced enough that I can at least wear some more shirts without obvious stains and that hadn't been the case lately.
However, it does nothing for my hands and feet and I don't think applying it to the rest of my sweating areas would do much good much less be adviseable.
Pretty much think it's not worth to chase it, I don't think when 20% does nothing, 30% is going to make all of the difference, it didn't for me anyway.

I tried Pro-banthine tablets again. - it works pretty well. I only take 1 tablet, it takes about 2 hours to kick in fully. Negatives are quite a dry mouth and drowsiness. I felt really tired in the day which is unheard of.
I tried the glycopyrrolate solution (0.05%) again. 500ml in the hand tray, water in the foot tray. I rolled on some driclor onto my foot before submerging it to see if this has any effect. I treated both hands for 10 minutes on the same polarity. No need to change the polarity with glycopyrrolate, plus its damn painful on P2.
My hands are dry so it seems to have worked again. Maybe because I haven't used it for so long my body isn't making antibodies to it. Side effects; slightly dry mouth and throat, and a slightly muzzy head. Side effects arent as pronounced as with oral medication.
It seems the long term treatment for hands and feet is the combination of continuous tap water iontophoresis, driclor (or glycopyrrolate cream), and oral medication when the going gets tough. Glycopyrrolate solution is the back-up option for when it's really bad.
