For Hyperhidrosis "Have been using Qbrexza for six months for underarm sweating. Was working great. In the past two weeks, though, the side effects have come out of nowhere and hit me hard. Excessive dry mouth to the point of choking on food, urinary problems, blurred vision and inability to sweat. I was working out, doing my normal routine and spiked a crazy high fever. At first, I thought it was the flu, but I was fine the next day. Went to work out tonight, same thing happened and my coach noticed I wasn’t sweating. Stopping immediately. Will be calling my dermatologist tomorrow!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Happy that something finally worked for my underarm sweating. But, as many have stated, side effects are not worth it. Urinary retention, dry mouth, blurred vision, and I don't sweat anywhere else. A shame side effects are so bad."

For Hyperhidrosis "I used this medication for a week, and it really worked. However, on day 5, I got every single side effect to the extreme: dry mouth, throat, eyes, nose, blurred vision, distended bladder, and trouble urinating. I also stopped sweating from all other parts of my body, and when I exercised, my face got extremely red, and I began overheating. The benefits are absolutely not worth enduring the side effects. I won’t even continue trying to stick this out to see if they go away."

For Hyperhidrosis "This worked great for my armpits, but I’ve been sick for two months and only just realized this is the cause of it. Dry mouth/throat, can’t see due to blurry and out of focus, urine retention, infected throat. I've been to my family doctor four times in a month, had two antibiotics, had an ENT scope my nose, had an upper endoscopy in a week, and am about to see a urologist. Multiple blood tests and urine tests were run and all came back fine. It hit me all of a sudden, I thought about these wipes. My family doctor was not aware I used them. The dermatologist refused to accept this is caused by these wipes and wanted me to continue. I will not continue to use this. I’ve literally been sick for two months over these wipes. Barely sleeping because of having to use the bathroom 8-10 times a night."

For Hyperhidrosis "Qbrexza works incredibly well as far as eliminating underarm sweat goes, but the side effects are either at 10% intensity or 100%, and it’s best to avoid figuring out how you’ll react. I had used one wipe under both armpits, followed by washing my hands thoroughly, and then went to bed. I woke up the next morning, unable to swallow due to no saliva in my mouth. I had difficulty with distance vision (I thought I had forgotten to put my contact lens in) and was unable to urinate unless I applied pressure to my bladder/leaned forward on the toilet. I had chugged nine water bottles from 0700 to 1900 and was able to recover by the end of my shift, aside from the urinary retention, which hopefully improves soon. The side effects outweigh the benefits, and not always will you feel the 100% intensity of side effects until you ruin your day by trying to ignore these severe side effects. In the previous attempts months ago, the side effects were nowhere near as strong."
