For Hyperhidrosis "HOLY MOLY. I used to use this product off and on because I would forget about applying it at night, but since quarantine hit, I decided to actually have a nighttime routine and I started using one pad a day regularly, and I noticed I stopped sweating... everywhere. It was so weird because I’ve sweat literally everywhere (mostly my underarms) for all of my life. I have always suffered from hyperhidrosis. Anyway, one morning I woke up with the WORST dry mouth I have EVER experienced. To the point where I was choking. My throat was so sore it was unbearable and my vision was so blurred. I am literally depressed because this actually stopped my sweating, but the side effects are just too much to handle."

For Hyperhidrosis "First night with Qbrexza, just 1 wipe, and I am having half of the side effects: dry mouth, dry nose, itchy throat, blurred vision. This isn't worth the risk. Now I'm up at 3 a.m. in the morning writing this because I'm uncomfortable and can't go to sleep due to excessive dry mouth and nose... Ugh... Aggravating... I will never try it again."

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 "I had been on Drysol for years (I'm in my 30s); however, it was becoming increasingly difficult for my pharmacy to get, and the itching on application nights would keep me up. My dermatologist suggested Qbrexza, and I've been pleased, especially as I find the wipes far easier to apply than Drysol. I have a little itching after application, but it's nothing compared to what I experienced with Drysol. I did have severe dry mouth and throat irritation during the first week or so, but I increased my water intake, and this drastically decreased (possibly as my body adjusted to the medication). Everyone responds to medications differently, but for me, the benefits far outweigh the risks."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've experienced severe hyperhidrosis for over 20 years. My dermatologist had a sample and suggested it. I followed the instructions, applying to both underarms in the late afternoon. I woke up in the middle of the night with a major headache, dry mouth, and throat that felt like it was swollen. I drank water, and it was painful going down and caused a sore throat. I will say that it was effective the following day with no sweat. However, I had to leave work due to fatigue. This product works without question. I will not take it again because the risks outweigh the reward. I would recommend going with a smaller dosage to minimize the symptoms."

For Hyperhidrosis "Absolutely horrible side effects. Such dry mouth, nose, and throat. I’m not sure if it’s from dry mouth, but it felt like it altered my sense of taste. Wouldn’t ever recommend. The side effects aren’t worth the reward."

For Hyperhidrosis "So I have tried these Qbrexza towelettes, and OMG, the side effects are so bad. Severe dry mouth, throat, nose, eyes. I wear contacts and couldn't wear them as my eyes were so dry, plus enlarged pupils and extreme sensitivity to light. I have excessive sweating on the face and head, and it helped. So very upset I had to stop using. My question is, can I cut the towelettes in 1/2 or 1/4 and use them every other day? Would this help?"
