There is no specific drug to address hyperhidrosis. Beta blockers and anticholinergics are sometimes used. I tried pindolol (a beta blocker) and bornaprine (an anticholinergic), both at very small doses, and even so, I experienced confusion and memory problems.
Another anticholinergic, ditropan is told to have mostly peripheral and less CNS effects, but I never used it.
Sweating is better than dementia, so I will never put those kinds of medication in my body again!!
