Oxybutynin (lyrinel xl) is most often prescribed to the elderly with over active bladders, or to bed-wetting children, but it is also pretty good at easing antidepressant induced sweating. It usually produces few side-effects with dry-mouth being the main one.Quote:

Thanks for your reply, my HA isn't too bad but unfortunately I do get stupid when having to take new meds especially when I have read all the side effects! 😑 really wanted to see if anyone had had success with out any trouble, especially as I'm now holding down a job I dont want to cock it up lol
That's never a good idea as an anxious mind is very adept at delivering them all if given half a chance. :sad:Quote:
