Fast stop to underarm sweating!!!?

I am not overweight, and do not want to tell people about the sweating. I used to just wear sweatshirts to hide the pit stains, but that doesnt work as well when its 100 degrees out. I am getting desperate! I have been using secret clinical strength for about a week, but I am noticing not changes. PLEASE HELP ME

    Since clinical strength stuff from the drugstore isn't doing it for you, you probably need to go and see your doctor. I know that it may be embarrassing to talk about it, but you will feel WAY better when you don't have stains on the under arms of your shirts anymore. The doctor will give you a prescription for some kind of topical liquid that will cause sweating to cease under your arms. It really does work wonders.

    Generally, OTC antiperspirants are used for profuse sweating. The most effective are those that contain aluminium chlorohydrate. But, such preparations may themselves cause irritation. Inflammation and infection can result from the combined effect of shaving and chemicals.

    There are also conventional oral medications for controlling sweating, but again unpleasant side effects may occur and they should be used only for extreme cases. These work by drying bodily secretions, and tend to come with unwanted side-effects such as dry mouth, blurry vision, dizziness and cardiovascular concerns. As a last resort, there are surgical procedures to control perspiration, but they are usually reserved for cases resistant to all other form of treatment.

    Natural Remedies

    Many people are now turning to natural remedies as a first step towards treating excessive sweating caused by overactive sweat glands. There are a number of natural ingredients that can help reduce sweating and treat some of the underlying causes. Nat mur. helps to reduce excessive sweating and clamminess.

    Lupulus as well as Castoreum and Argentum Nitricum help to address sweating, especially when related to nervousness, panic, anxiety, or obsessive thoughts. Lastly the ingredient Syphilinum helps to control fluid levels in the body, while also helping to control body odor which commonly accompanies excessive sweating.

    I had the same prob. Dont be embarassed...lots of ppl have this problem. Clinical strength didnt work for me either. ive been using certain dry... a freaking god send! this actually works... a few notes: dont apply right after shower or shaving or u will itch. also let dry completely before putting a shirt on cuz it stains some material. i apply once @ bedtime. use everyday and youll get major relief within 3 days. keep using or the sweating will return.

    trust me CERTAIN DRI is the best anti-perspirant ever! i was really insecure about sweating, i would wear baggy sweatshirts over everything to hide sweating! i tried EVERYTHING! nothing worked. i heard about this product on here around half a year ago. you put it on at night, (and morning if you'd like) and you just stop sweating! i havnt sweat from my pits since! it works right away too! its the best feeling ever to not have to worry if people are looking at your armpits! it is THE BEST PRODUCT IVE EVER USED! i can wear tank tops and tight fitted shirts with no worry! NO MORE SWEATING! you can buy it at any drug store i think! no prescription!

    *********btw; i just read the other peoples answers, TRY THIS before you go to a doctor!

    You need an extra strong deodorant try one for men they are stronger. You could get some stuff on prescription from your doctor too. Failing that the only other sure way to stop sweating there is botox injections. The stars all use this before oscars.
