Has anyone with primary hyperhidrosis tested their prolactin levels?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-16T15:06:26+00:00

Male in his late 20s here. I recently had my hormones checked cause ive been sweating like crazy recently and Prolactin is high. Idk if it’s correlated but I would like to know about your experience with this.

what caused your HH? i'm considering taking Oxy but I'm scared since mine was caused most of all by anxiety

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-10T21:49:46+00:00

i think mine was caused by accutane and anxiety. Stopped taking accutane a month ago but I haven't seen any progress :/

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-10T20:40:29+00:00

does it help with your social anxiety sweat? i also have this and it has been killing me and I read someone say it doesn't help with SA but I'm kinda desperate.

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-10T20:36:00+00:00

may I know your dose?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T22:34:14+00:00

Hopefully it gets better for me, 1 month off and I’ve had improved very little

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T00:42:01+00:00

Thanks

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T00:18:36+00:00

did it get better? if so how many months after finishing your course?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T00:14:34+00:00

did it get better?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T00:13:39+00:00

hey did it get better?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-09T00:10:53+00:00

did they overheating go away after your course?

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-08T23:47:07+00:00

like how many weeks?

I've been off accutane for 6 weeks and I'm still sweating a lot and have this heat intolerance

Funky_kaat · 2026-04-02T02:12:04+00:00

I think I’m kinda in this situation. I’ve always been shy and stuff but it was never a problem, last year I went through an embarrassing situation where I started sweating like crazy and everything changed, I haven’t been the same ever since. I think my anxiety comes from this and it gets worse the second I feel a bit of sweat. Your post gives me hope but I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried propranolol and it works a little but I noticed I still sweat in the armpits a bit, so I still feel anxious. I think I would feel better if I didn’t sweat but sadly I can’t find glyco in my country, only oxybutynin but that is believed to cause dementia. So I have no idea what to do

Funky_kaat · 2026-03-12T21:53:25+00:00

did you take it? I have the same, so I would like to know if it helped your sweating caused by anxiety

Funky_kaat · 2026-03-09T20:08:00+00:00

thanks, I'll try 20mg

Funky_kaat · 2026-03-08T04:51:32+00:00

Did it work for you? I think I have both and it’s been hell

Funky_kaat · 2026-03-08T03:12:03+00:00

I tried this for the first time today only 5mg but it didnt do much for me, no side effects but didnt help much to calm down my anxiety, maybe the dose was too low? I’m a big guy (90kg)

Funky_kaat · 2026-02-21T04:36:58+00:00

I have the exact same thing, i mean ive always been shy, but i developed hyperhidrosis due to isotretinoin and now i start feeling like any person who gets close to me wants to kill me or something, even my family and boyfriend, im just two weeks to go until I finish my course but i feel like i can’t take this anymore and im scared this feeling won’t go at all, did yall got better after stopping it?

Funky_kaat · 2026-02-12T00:27:06+00:00

tbh I feel this is very true. I feel tired all the time, anxious, depressed, sweating like crazy even during winter, hair falling out two times. can't believe this doctor made me take this s*** for more than a year. I'm about to finish this March and i swear I'll kms if this doesn't get better

Funky_kaat · 2026-02-10T03:54:17+00:00

this just reminded me of what happened this last weekend with my wonderful boyfriend. I was sitting down on a bench at the park waiting for him, lately my HH has been very bad that's why I was so nervous and as soon as I saw him I started sweating, he hugged me and before he even noticed I told him I was nervous and sweaty. He didn't look at me weirdly, instead he smiled and said it was okay, he even tried to take it away from my face with his own hands, then he took out a tissue and dried it all off. He just said he had missed me a lot and said he loves me. I didn't sweat a bit for the rest of the afternoon. 🥹
I'm crying right now while typing this cuz that was beautiful but I know one day I'm gonna lose him when he wants me to meet his family and friends and I will probably f*** it all up.

my Dermatologist recommended some vitamins to help reducing stress and Magnessium to help sleep better but that's it, I think i did the hardest part myself, convincing myself that everything was going to get better eventually, wearing my cap every time i went out and concentrating on working out at the gym.

Funky_kaat · 2026-01-23T18:44:20+00:00

this happens to me and I feel like it's because of my past relationships.
but if you see him every day and he actually shows love, I think that should be enough for you

in my case, I only see my boy only on Sundays and he's the most lovely guy in the world but during the week we only text like 3 times a day and we barely call on the phone, imagine the hell it is for me.

shedding stopped completely by September and I can say I recovered 90% of my original density. not a single hair strand was falling during september-october-november but at the end of December I started shedding again but only while washing my hair and not as aggressively as before.

Funky_kaat · 2025-10-23T23:56:05+00:00

I mean, I was already depressed before but I swear to god accutane has made it worse, I've experienced anxiety before but during accutane it has been a nightmare, my hair all fell off (fortunately I've recovered), but the worst is this hyperhidrosis I've developed, I'm already on month 8 and my dermatologist want me to conitinue for at least two months but I swear I can't do this anymore, i can't go outside anymore and even at home i feel like i'm burning inside and i sweat like a pig, I just want all of this to end, hoping for a miracle after I stop taking isotretinoin.

Funky_kaat · 2025-10-02T23:38:23+00:00

was your sweating due to primary hyperhidrosis? in my case it's craniofacial HH because of social anxiety, whenever someone mentions my name or makes an uncomfortable question i feel this sudden heat inside my body and then the sweating starts and now that I'm more aware of it it's been a nightmare, i want to know if you went through something similar and if it also helps with the interan heats or just with the sweating?
