Hey, I think I am going to get script for this as well and test it out. Thanks for renewing my interest on it. This summer heat has made my sweating extra miserable... Below are some clippings i took from the article that might help you.

diltiazem, was initiated;
it was administered every six hours for three days. On the
first day of treatment, each dose of diltiazem was 30 mg; on
the final two days, each dose was 60 mg. Sweat testing was
done in the morning, afternoon, and evening of the first
two days and in the morning and afternoon of the third
day. Electrocardiograms were obtained daily during this
last three-day period.
Diltiazem produced excellent results. The mean
postdose sweat readings performed over the threeday
test period was 0.222 g, a marked and constant
decrease from baseline values. The effect of the
medication was prolonged, eventually affecting the
predose readings and lowering the SWs progressive¬
ly with increasing length of time on the drug. The
mean SW over the three day period for all readings
was 0.263 g. The mean SW for each day on diltiazem
was as follows: day 1, 0.302 g; day 2, 0.285 g; and day
3, 0.176 g. By day 3, the average SW was essentially
the same as the control mean SW.
Calcium flux plays a central and essential role in
the stimulation of active sweat secretion.12 Influx of
calcium from the extracellular compartment to the
intracellular compartment has been shown by Sato12
to be required for eccrine gland secretion to occur.
Calcium-channel blockers act selectively by inhibit¬
ing calcium influx through the cell membrane.242'
These facts suggested the possible usefulness of
calcium-channel blockers in hyperhidrosis.
