It stings the first few times but eventually you can use it once per week and it remains effective.
I will assume you tried that but you never know. BOTOX is so in vogue perhaps you wanted the added benefit of youthful looking armpits.

My doc is an American Chinese MD trained in western med but became disgusted with just masking patient’s symptoms so he went to China and got a degree in TCM so he could treat the whole person and not just one problem.
Some survival tips he’s given me: sip hot water all day (not scalding but hotter than warm) – I carry a thermos with me. Controlling your breathing is number one priority. I count my breaths which is what my Buddhist (ex altar boy) learned in meditation class. It focuses the mind wonderfully. Slow and Easy.

I’m a GAD’r, too. Hope this helps
