| 4 | IBS | M | 70 | 30 years | 12/7/2004 | 5 | hyperhidrosis of head/face | Dry mouth lessened over time | Figured that at the age of 60 change-of-life could have nothing to do with this awful sweating, which started four years ago and got worse over time. Heard all the boloney about excess "anxiety", etc. but who's anxious in the middle of a grocery store at noon? I'd look like I'd just come out of the shower! Or cooking dinner with no company? This condition literally came to control my life; so frustrated no one could understand! On-line research led me to hyperhidrosis, then to a dermatologist, and then, thank GOD, to Robinul! I take only one a day on winter days, even none on some days; have gone to 3X a few times with summer heat/humidity. A miracle drug!!! | F | 68 | 30 days 2mg 2X day | 7/21/2012 | 5 | Excessive sweating | Dry mouth | It’s a life saver. Unless you’ve lived with excessive sweating you have no idea how miserable and isolating it can make you. Side effects are worth it if it means no more excessive sweating. I have actually been taking this for several years now. | F | 63 | 100 days 1mg | 3/25/2019 | 5 | excessive sweating | Dry mouth, dry throat | Has been a life safer. About 6 or so years ago, I started sweating profusly. I have had medical issues and take many medications. The sweating was annoying to me. Then started generic Robinal and the sweating has stopped. I take 1 -2 per day depending on my daily activity or appointments. It has been worth taking for me. | M | 62 | 5 years 2 mg 2X day | 6/15/2015 | 5 | hyperhidrosis - face and head | sx. of urinary retention...but not bad enough to stop this medication. | This medicine has given me back my life. I was close to quitting my job because of embarrassing dripping sweat that causes people to stare and ask if I am OK. It has been so distracting and embarrassing, I wanted to hide and was ready to retire. As soon as I found the right dose (2mg) it was like someone turned off a switch and I was back to normal. | F | 60 | 1 months | 8/30/2008 | 2 | severe craniofacial hyperhidrosis | Blurred vision, bladder numbness. I didn't get the urge to empty my bladder until it was over-full and fit to burst! Robinul had hardly any effect on my craniofacial hyperhidrosis. | F | 60 | 4 months 5mg | 7/26/2013 | 2 | Excessive head and facial sweating | Very dry mouth and throat and blurred vision | I was so happy when my Doctor prescribed Robinul for my sweating. I though maybe, just maybe I could stop sweating from my head and face and not be embarrassed. Well, I've been taking it now for a little over 2 months and as I'm sitting here writing this, I'm pouring sweat :( I just emailed my Dr. asking how to safely stop taking it. | F | 59 | 2 months 1 MG 2X day | 6/27/2014 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | No side effects except slightly dry mouth in morning | I've had a significant problem with year-round face, head and chest hyperhidrosis (even indoors) since I was a teenager. I've tried everything. Nothing worked until I found Robinul. I'm using the generic. I started at 1mg and didn't see much difference. 2 mg helped a little. 3 mg is perfect and I am dry all day. Amazing and yes ... life-changing. I live in Central Texas and it is very hot and humid here during the summer. | F | 55 | 3 days 3 mg 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 5 | Facial Hyperhydrosis | None | I have had mild facial sweating all of my life but it has gotten much worse over the last five years enough to cause problems in both my social and professional life. Robinul has truly changed my life. I take 2mg early in the morning and 1 mg at bedtime and occasionally an additional 1-2mg in the evening before a meeting or social event. I can now attend meetings, parties etc. without sweating and can wear normal clothes. I have had no side effects. I strongly encourage anyone with severe sweating problems to try Robinul - start with a low dose and titrate up to the effective dosage for you. | M | 53 | 4 months | 12/18/2008 | 5 | head and facial sweating | Extreme dry mouth | F | 52 | 4 months 2mg | 1/1/2013 | 5 | Cranial Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth | F | 51 | 1 months 1 MG | 10/20/2012 | 5 | Cranial Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth | F | 51 | 3 months 3-6 MG | 12/27/2012 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Really none that I have noticed. | I have suffered over 30 years with Hyperhidrosis. I recently started a new job and just prior to that started taking Robinul in hopes I could enjoy my new job and finally feel normal for once. I wanted to post my information in hopes someone suffering as I did would see this and look into taking Robinul for themselves. It has totally changed my life and I'm so very thankful. I went out and purchased nice new clothes for my new job. I feel so good about myself! I hope this helps others. There is hope and you don't have to suffer from Hyperhidrosis thanks to Robinul. | F | 51 | 4 months | 5/30/2007 | 5 | hyperhydrosis over my entire body | I have suffered from excessive sweating over my entire body for years. It prevents me from doing normal daily activities. I will sweat in 40 degree temps. I never wear a coat. Drying my hair proves to be very troublesome as it never gets dry. After pleading with my Dr. For help, She prescribed ROBINUL. Today is my first day on the medication. I have been on the internet reading reviews of the product. I am hearng nothing but raves. I am so excited for it to start working. I just want to live a normal life without the worry of my hair going flat and my make up running down my face. Wish me luck and ill see Ya at the gym! | F | 51 | 1 days 2 MG | 6/20/2014 | 5 | IBS | It made me a bit drowsy, so I tried to wait and take it close to bedtime. Slept GREAT and woke up with a little anti-depressant buzz. If I take the full dose at any time, I become agitated and jittery, can't handle it. So I cut them in half. | My doctor gave me this for IBS. At the first sign I would take half a tablet and BAM! it stops the problem very quickly. When I can, I try to delay taking till closer to bedtime, but in a pinch will take at any time. THe IBS has gradually resolved over the years and now the same med. has been prescribed for me to dry up fluid in my ears. I hope it works. In any case, the side effects are pleasant ones. | F | 50 | 3 years | 9/14/2007 | 4 | severe facial hyperhidrosis | The first week I had a problem with dry eyes and dry mouth, by the end of week 2 I had no side affects, first week dosage was 1 mg 3 times a day had to increase dosage to 2mg 2 times a day | This medicine has worked wonder for me I have suffered with this disease all my life, I wish I had had the nevers to get help for this disease years ago | F | 50 | 1 months 1mg 2X day | 7/19/2010 | 3 | hyperhidrosis | blurry vision. slight headaches | M | 50 | 18 days 1 3X day | 8/16/2011 Patient History | 1 | Ulcers - 7 stomach ulcers | 48 hours after starting Robinul,I began to experience EXTREME difficulty with URINATING. In fact, at times it seemed almost impossible to go at all. I also began a little bit of itching. I stopped the Robinul then and there. Woke up the next morning covered in a RASH that got worse as the day progressed. By the end of the day I was covered from head to toe. Started Benadryl and that didn't even help one bit. Now, six days later, the rash has not gotten worse - but neither has it gotten better. I am able to urinate normally, but the rash is painfully itchy and not responding to traditional treatment of Benadryl and cortisone creme, so it's off for another costly doctor visit and I guess maybe a round of steroids - which I amleery about with all these ulcers. | This drug produced a very bad reaction with me and I take several drugs for anxiety and ulcers. I have never had an allergic reaction to anything. Beware of Robinul. | F | 49 | 2 days | 12/29/2007 | 5 | Heavy sweating (hyperhydrosis) | Slight blurred vision, very mild. | This is a godsend. It has pretty much stopped my hyperhydrosis symptoms. For me this is a life changing drug, no more flop sweat in social situations. | M | 47 | 2 months | 12/28/2008 | 4 | Hyperhidrosis of Hands and Feet | I experienced mild headaches for the first month. Dry mouth at first but the longer I have taken Robinul, the less dry mouth effects me. | I have taken Robinul for 7 years and it has changed my life socially giving me more confidence. I take 2 mg in the winter months and 3 or 4 mg in summer months to dramatically reduce my sweating of hands and feet. | F | 47 | 7 days | 6/1/2005 |
ROBINUL (GLYCOPYRROLATE): Glycopyrrolate is a long term medication used to treat ongoing lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It must be used regularly to reduce and prevent symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. This may lead to a decrease in time lost from work due to COPD. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so that they can open wider to make breathing easier. Glycopyrrolate does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems. If wheezing or sudden shortness of breath occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler as prescribed.
