I found glycopyrrolate it to be an effective back-up treatment for my hands and feet when the going gets tough. It is much stronger than tap water.
I have had a bizzare experience with the solution, where I used it for half a year with great effects, then I found the effects to become weaker and weaker to the point where it didn't work any more, my body must have developed antibodies to it. HOWEVER I since used it over half a year later and it worked strongly again. So the resistance effect isn't permanent.
I order it on repeat prescription via Nova Labs who make it here in England. They also make glycopyrrolate cream.

Hello again, I promised to tell you a few words about Antihidrosin R32 by Reckeweg which I have used. I think it's a waste of time and money but especially time because you use it and wait for the effects and then you realize that is one big crap
Nevertheless you had better try it on yourself so you will be really sure
Sorry for my English if I did any spelling error or something please correct me because I am still learning.

It's a pity it didn't work for you but thanks for getting back again!
Your English is better than most English people's
Where do you suffer with hyperhidrosis? maybe I can try and help you out a little more if you want.
Thanks Pinker
My HH problems are mainly on armpits, sometimes face I use Etiaxil it's similar to Certain Dry, Odaban etc. which are unavailable in Poland but it causes skin irritation and itch. I wonder if Odaban is easily available in Manchester because my uncle works there and he would be able to send me it. However, I noticed that I sweat when my pulse grows because when I am relaxed and calm I don't sweat.

Stumbled across the site and is very informative. I suffer from exessive sweating from the face and now armpits. It causes great embaressment and now find I avoid places where I know it is going to happen. I can be sitting down watching TV and I will start to sweat. I have been to my GP last year and he sent me to a specialist, who said there is nothing wrong with me!!! So I sat back and have tried to deal with it!! Searching through lots of sites, I have come across the two products for under arm sweating....Dri Clor and Odaban. Have tried Driclor for the past 2 nights and suffered from extreme irritation and loss of sleep!!!! Didn't know you needed a hair dryer! Anyway, the test was last night when i went to a party, which I was dreading as usual, and I must admit that my arm pits were drier than normal!!!! Have just ordered Odaban, before I found this site and hope the irritation is less (have heard on other sites it is less).
It looks like I have found the solution to the under arms, but my real pain is the face!!!! I get red very easily and then the sweating starts!! Like I said, I could just be watching TV (with a fan on).
Any suggestions on facial sweating that I may have missed would be greatly appreciated!!
Sorry for the long first post, but it is good to get it off my chest!!!!

Hey its good to get it off your chest I'm glad you've found something that works for your armpits. About the hairdrier thing I was told when I use driclor or similar products the trick is to use that to dry it and not to apply too much to avoid it getting really itchy. Odaban is suppost to be better because people say there is less irritaion and i'm sure i've read the body isn't suppost to build up a kind of resistance to it (lots of people have said roll ons become inneffective after a few years of usage). So odaban would be a good thing to try.
You could also apply odaban on parts of your face as well, but if you have sensitive skin it could be a little irritating but worth a try. There is also "secure wipes" which a lot of people have said are very effective if you want to have a look for topics on it. They contain glycopyrrolate which is commonly used in hyperhidrosis products. They can be ordered from www.pharmacy.ca in a few different concentrations.
There is also glycopyrrolate cream (not much information on this) and Hydrosal Gel which is a new product. I'd like to try them myself because I sweat a lot on my eyebrows (wierd eh).

I think Odaban is ordered straight off the internet so you should be able to order it from where you are I think. If not then it definitely will be able to be delivered to your uncle here in Manchester.
It's also true for nearly all sufferers that when they become nervous this in turn worsens the condition. I don't sweat when i'm calm but you can't control your nerves so its best to seek a remedy to stop it all together.

New Antiperspirant for Hyperhidrosis
I've been using this antiperspirant for my heavy sweating, try it out... It works for normal to excessive sweating, and I've included two other links that have tons of info about hyperhidrosis (definitions, treatments, etc.).
