@julbpat Do you have trouble with sweating after taking the pilocarpine? First day I took it I went to work at a factory and had temperature check for Covid and I had a temperature about 15 minutes later it was gone , so I started waiting until I got to work to take it. Sometimes after I took it I would just start sweating so much I asked to be switched to another medicine which they put me on Cevilemine big mistake I would wake up soaking wet from sweat. I just recently switched back to pilocarpine and the sweating is not as bad

Well, that could be true for me! I think I’ve been taking it for about four years. When I started, I sometimes only needed it twice a day. Now I really need it 4X a day. I even keep some by my bedside in case I wake up early with a parched mouth.
My sweating has progressed as my SFN has progressed. I don’t sweat as much in most of my body anymore. It is concentrated in my scalp and face. And I mean dripping within 10 minutes. I know that excessive sweating is part of SFN, and I would expect it to get worse over time. But I never paid attention to the pilocarpine intake, and timing! I’m going to start monitoring that. The pilocarpine is effective for up to five hours, I think. That makes it easy to monitor whether it’s causing an effect.
