Members with epilepsy related to the struggle of finding effective deodorant while on seizure medications that increase sweating, with many sharing that switching from regular deodorant to antiperspirant made a big difference. Several members recommended specific products including Degree Clinical Strength, Old Spice antiperspirant, Gillette Power Stick, Mando or Lume, and even baking soda as a natural option, while one member noted their dermatologist prescribed Drysol for severe sweating. A recurring theme was that body chemistry varies per person, so experimenting with antiperspirants and consulting a doctor or dermatologist can help find the right solution.

There are actually two different products to consider here.. Deodorants and anti perspirant. One is designed to reduce odor and ons designed to reduce sweat which would then reduce odor. If your sweating more you might want to look into the anti perspirant

Yes actually . When I sweat really bad Secret Clinical or Degree Clinical strength worked best . Right now I’m using Degree ( non aluminum ) spray deodorant. It works wonders and I stay dry without worrying about breast cancer since it’s in my genes
