Has any body taken Propranolol for excessive sweat. I read about Parkinson’s.org . My doctor prescribe it for blood pressure. I took 1 80mg one a day. I took it for 4 Days and to quit it I felt like a zombie could get going.

It was the first drug prescribed for my arm tremor. I quit using it because of that zombie effect. Then I tried Sinemet which caused a smaller zombie effect without helping the tremor.

Sounds like your doctor thinks you have essential tremor giving you propanolol.

I used to sweat profusely - my entire Squash kit would be saturated.

It stopped completely when I went on Keto Diet and stayed that way on my current Carnivore Diet

Best regards, Phil

Phil, could your observation be coincidence?

I took a small dose (10mg) for years to help with social phobia issues (speaking in public, doing nursing procedures). I still take it once or twice a week; it does help with some of my tremor, anxiety. It doesn't lower my blood pressure, but does lower my heart rate, so I avoid taking it prior to doing cardio.

I take glycopyrolate for excessive sweating. 1 mg2x a day. This has also helped me with my heat intolerance.

My movement disorder doctor approved it after it was recommended to me by my dermatologist. It's been a life saver for me. I suffer through the heat here in south Carolina.
