"Also take for extreme facial sweating resulting as a side effect of antidepressants. Been taking for years after searching for relief and finding an online article mentioning a study of terazosin for this purpose. Sometimes works well in sweat reduction, sometimes not at all, but better than nothing. Tried Drysol topical, but my skin is too sensitive. Curious what mg dosage others take. I take 2 mg x 2 after driving into work, as I think it contributes to dizziness, likely along with other meds."

"Terazosin has saved my personal and professional life! I was sweating spontaneously under stress or anxiety and every night while sleeping, no matter how cold the temperature. It was perimenopause and menopause symptoms that could not be treated with hormones. This has done the trick for me! It started at 1mg at night then upped to 2mg twice a day for 10 years. Now the dosage is 5mg twice daily. I can still feel “heat” but not excessive sweat on my body."

"I originally requested this medication after some research regarding sweating caused by my antidepressants. It works fantastic for the sweating. I also have quite a history of urinary problems, and it has also helped with that problem. Also, high blood pressure runs in my family. Although I have never needed BP medicine, I am proud to report that my blood pressure is perfect! I have been on terazosin for many years, so perhaps it is keeping my BP in check as I age. For me, it has been a great medicine. No side effects that negatively impact me. I am on 1 mg, 2 caps in the AM and one in the PM."
