Avert only works for me AFTER I need it to (SA effects the results)..

[sportsfan8]

I am back to taking Avert (have taken off and on for years) because I have job interviews coming up and really need to get rid of my sweaty palms.

I took one 2 mg pill an hour or more before I needed it, but when I got into the situation my sweating was just as bad as usual, and the side effects that made me stop taking Avert were in full effect (extremely dry throat and eyes. It gives me a dry, sore throat as if I have a cold and I wear contacts so the dry eyes really messes with them).

But 10-15 minutes after I was done, the sweating completely dried up and I was physically unable to sweat the rest of the day.

Does anyone here with social anxiety find the same thing happens to them? Anyone know what can be done differently?

It just takes more then an hour of Avert to fully kick in - more like 2.5 hours for me, and my digestion is fast!
It also depends on how full or empty your stomach is.

It was on a completely empty stomach in the morning. I will try again earlier in the day but I really think it has to do with my nerves/social anxiety.
