I have really bad hyperhidrosis and have tried numerous products including drysol, certain dry and maxium. None of these have worked for me. Does anyone know anything else I can try. I am desperate help!

If you have tried everything else, it is time to see a dermatologist (if you haven't already). There are prescription anti-perspirants that are very successful such as aluminum tetrachloride (Xerac).
Another new treatment uses electric current to block the action of the sweat glands. It is used daily for a week and then your sweating will be relieved for a month.

Well, it all depends on WHERE your hyperhidrosis is. For example, if it's on your hands and feet, you can try anti-perspirants (Secret Clinical Strength is brand new and getting rave reviews); iontophoresis (the water bath thing); and/or Botox. Lots of people use these treatments in combination to get the best effect for the longest period of time. If you have HH in your underarms, then your options are the same as above with the EXCEPTION of iontophoresis.
The success of these treatments is hugely technique-dependant. So, you need to find a good dermatologist that has lots of experience treating HH. Best place to find him or her is on the International Hyperhidrosis Society's website (www.SweatHelp.org). Plus they have TONS of information that can help you through this. And make sure you subscribe to their newsletter--great info and deals. Good luck!
