My doctor prescribed Marinol for severe compensatory sweating. Do any of you experience less sweat when you take Marinol? Also do any of you experience more sweating?
Please only answer if you are taking Marinol or have taken it before.
Thanks!

I actually was also just prescribed Marinol for sever compensatory sweating, just 5 days ago. So far, I have found little change in my sweating when I am on it. Still a sweat soaked shirt every day on the way to work and going through two or three handkerchiefs a day just trying to wipe all the sweat from my brow before it gets on to my face. I am going to call my doctor back tomorrow after a third day of "field testing" Marinol's effect on sweating. I will come back to post what he says.
While on the Marinol, I have opted out of using my Glycopyrrolate (Robinul) because it wouldn't show me the effects of Marinol for sweating. I do however still take a 50mg vyvanse in the morning before I leave for work; I have taken the Marinol right when I wake up in the morning before showering: about an hour and a half before leaving for work.

Your experience sounds just like my own. I underwent a ETS surgery in 2011 and have suffered from severe compensatory sweating. I've managed my sweating with glycopyrrolate but the dose I need to prevent sweating is really high (8 to 10mg a day).
I will be starting 2.5mg marinol twice a day starting today. Sadly my insurance won't approve it for hyperhidrosis. My doctor recommended buying 10 capsules out of the full 30 day prescription he wrote out. I'll be seeing him on Friday to discuss increasing the dose and to see how it helps if at all.
Please keep me updated. I'm glad I'm not alone. I hope it starts working for you and gives you the much needed relief that you're looking for.
