Hey there :)
I've started using a v. strong deodorant [like drysol] that contains a lot of aluminium, for the past three months. Are there any side effects involved?
I sweat A LOT, like even during the winter, but I'll try to refrain from using this deodorant when it's cold. Just wondering how other people deal with excessive sweating...

There is a new medical treatment for those with excessive sweating, the Dr injects Botox in the arm pit area and it's supposed to really help. I don't know how long it lasts, though, or the cost involved.

well, although i dont sweat THAT much....i sweat more at the moment in 35C heats...i tend to apply talc to places where i get most sweaty.....that helps stay dry to a certain extent e.g. in leg creases, underneath breasts etc..u get the idea!
Give it a go:D

I used to think I was the only person in my school with HUGE sweat marks on my shirts...all I could wear were black t-shirts : (. I am extremely grateful for these kinda deodorants. The thing that bothers me though is that some say they can cause cancer and alzheimers....what does anyone think?

Certain dri works great. From what i know it is not harmful because you sweat from other places in your body instead of your arm pits. If you read the pamplet they give you it talks about it. I actually just bought the new adidas antiperspirant they have out. Doesnt work as well as certain dri but it is better than all the others plus it has a scent to it.

no...certain dri is not a perscription. its basically the strongest stuff you can buy without a perscription. i know they sell it at cvs and stores like that.

I use Mitchum and I love it! However, I would really like to try Drysol. Are they sure it's safe to use? What about the cancer worry?

I'm so gald to read this post and realize I'm not alone. Since high school (I'm 25) I have had really sweaty armpits. The Dr. gave me an anti-anxiety drug saying it was anxiety and that was a whole problem within itself. I never went back to her and still have the problem. Even in the winter months. The dr. told me she couldn't prescribe me anything because normal sweat and anxiety sweat comes from 2 different sweat glands and thats why she couldn't give me anything. I want to try certain dri...I will check CVS. Does Dryso work better than certain dri? I have also heard about the Botox option. I'm so glad that I may actually be able to wear bright colors instead of navy's, blacks, and whites. I have been so embarased for years and my wardrobe has suffered. ;) I had to let every guy know that I dated that I have this problem, most didn't care...but ugh..made me SO self conscience.
