Thought about antimuscarinic medication but they have been removed from the market at some point in the past and nothing is available at the time being to treat hyperhidrosis which is my worst problem, although smiling in meetings or when I am very angry is also terrible...

Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

I understand your concern and agree with you on the fact that autonomic dysfunction is a part of advanced stages of parkinsonism or tardive dyskinezia.
I would like to know more about your past medical history. What is your current therapy?Involuntary smiling could be a sign of pseudo-bulbar affect.
Regarding hyperhydrosis, I would recommend botox injections.
You should discuss with your doctor on this possible treatment option.
Kind regards!
