If changing medication is not an option then please consider practical measures such as carrying extra napkins, change of clothes or fragrances as needed

If the excessive sweating due to anxiety is resolved and it's been atleast 4-6 months, then only you should think of tapering off and stopping the medicines. If the excessive sweating is still there and the psychiatrist says it is a symptom of anxiety, then you need to discuss with him to further optimise the treatment and if the psychiatrist says the sweating is not related to anxiety then you need to consult a Physician to ascertain the cause and treatment accordingly.
