I have anxiety related facial hyperhidrosis (as whenever I'm anxious I start sweating excessive on face) which makes my confidence low in social situations and affects my daily lifestyle. I also take nexito 10 as per psychiatrist advise but no improvement as still I have excessive facial sweating problem so for this botox is safe or not at the age of 23. Is botox safe in long term to stop excessive forehead sweating during anxiety?

Dear lybrate user, It's really taxing to have such problems you have mentioned at this very young age. Use of Botox without strict medical supervision is not good for your health. Along with medications you can try yoga, relaxation techniques and Psychotherapy like CBT to treat your underlying anxiety issues with corresponding qualified professionals will help you to a great extent.

Dear sir, I am very sorry to hear about your distress. If nexito 10 mg has not helped in treating your anxiety then you should speak with your psychiatrist and he/she can increase the dosage or switch to another medication. A combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, cbt works best for social anxiety and other anxiety disorders. A dermatologist can advise you best regarding botox as a treatment option for facial hyperhidrosis. Hope this helps.
