Excessive sweating on face and neck

Hello @terena, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that you doctor just brushes the sweating off. I found some information on a condition called craniofacial hyperhidrosis that sounds similar to your symptoms.
"Excessive sweating -- If you sweat excessively from your head and face, in particular, you may have a condition known as craniofacial hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis means sweating more than is necessary to maintain a normal body temperature. It can range in severity from dampness to dripping."

There is also a list of medications that can cause the condition - Drugs/Medications Known to Cause Hyperhidrosis:

Have you thought about getting a second opinion from a dermatologist?

Thankyou so much for that information John. I went through the list of meds that can cause my problem and found that all three of them are on the list so will definitely be seeking a review of my medication from a doctor who will listen. Thankyou soo much!
