I have hyperhydrosis and my doctor put me on an antianxiety med for a month but it didn't work, what else can i try?
A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are risks and benefits. Appropriate candidates should be selected. This link may help: http://goo.Gl/rsl68 this link to consensus: http://goo.Gl/isann.
