How Dibenzyline Affects PatientsPhenoxybenzamine is used to treat high blood pressure and excessive sweating caused by a disease called pheochromocytoma.

4Patient Review
2/21/2012 This medication does help to ease my symptoms, but I have to take a larger dose than recommended for it to be completely effective. The downside to this is that I feel very lightheaded and dizzy.

3.7Patient Review
10/26/2008 I am currently taking this treatment leading up to my surgery on 11/3. I have found it difficult to breathe; the constant stuffed nose is very unpleasant. However, there are some benefits: my blood pressure has lowered and I don't sweat as much anymore.
2.7Patient Review
2/16/2011 My blood pressure is under control now, but I still have a really bad sweating problem all over my body. I've seen several doctors about this, but no one has been able to help me.
