Botox for Excessive Sweating?

I've been suffering from pretty bad sweating for quite some time, I'd say since I was 14-15 and my past internship really showed it. Since I had to wear solid dress shirts daily my shirts would be soaked. I've tried pretty much every OTC deodorant including the 'clinical strength' ones with no luck. I'm thinking it's time to make an appointment with a dermatologist and see if I'm eligible for Botox as well as if my insurance will cover it.

I'm wondering if anyone on the boards has any experience, or knows someone who has used Botox for excessive sweating? I'm wondering how effective it is, as well as risks. I did some quick searches but the stuff I was finding seemed a little dated, like when Botox was just approved a couple years back. It also seemed to be testimonials of a 'friend of friend' thing. Theres nothing I hate more then my excessive sweating and not wearing nice clothes because of it.
