| 4 | | 4/3/2004 | 5 | for hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth and blurry vision | It has done wonders in drying up my sweaty palms that I've suffered with for years. I'll deal with the side effects. This is a good drug if hyperhidrosis surgery or expensive Botox injections aren't an option. I've been on 6mg everyday for 13 years. | F | 42 | 13 years | 6/2/2004 | 4 | IBS | M | 70 | 30 years | 12/7/2004 | 4 | Severe HyperHydrosis | blurry vision, momentary disorientation, dry mouth, bloating, and extreme heat feelings due to lack of sweat. | I can handle the side effects because the drug has given me back a huge part of my life. It worked mircles in drying up my overall body sweat including my underarms, lower regions of my body, and facial sweat. I usually take 2 tablet in the morning before I eat and it lasts all day. | M | 31 | 10 months | 5/8/2005 | 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 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Headaches, blurry vision, constipation, somewhat dry mouth - but most of these side effects have either already disappeared or are very minimal. | Highly recommend for symptoms of hyperhidrosis, including the feet. I take 1 mg at 10am, and 1mg 10pm (be sure not to take it too closely to eating because in my experience it tends not to work as well). I can't believe the things I am able to do, again, after nearly 25 years of either suffering through or avoiding! I also need only deodorant, now, rather than an anti-perspirant/deodorant - and I have been taking this while living in the hot/humid summer in Texas! I have heard that it might not work long-term for some, and then there are others who have been taking it for years - I'll take any time off from HH symptoms that I can get. | F | 40 | 30 days | 7/7/2005 | 4 | hypohidrosis | i didnt really have very many side effects mostly dry mouth and eyes, howevere during the summer months when it became hotter i would experience nose bleeds due to the medication drying me out. although i used nose drops to solve this. | since i have been taking robinul i now couldnt live without it. my life is so much easier now. i found it so hard before with socialising and exams etc. however i couldnt imagine copeing without it now!!! | F | 16 | 18 months | 1/2/2006 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | Very few side effects. Mainly dry mouth and very mild headaches in the beginning. All of which were very minimal. | Works miracles so far. I have been taking it a short time and so far so good. Does amazing job at drying up my overall body sweating. I actually feel like a normal person for the first time in ten years! I also find that it is not as effective when taken close to meals. You should wait about hour to an hour and a half before or after a meal. | M | 25 | 3 weeks | 5/2/2007 | 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 | Hyperhidrosis | Difficulty urinating, dry mouth | This drug is awesome! Unfortunately, I have developed a very shy bladder, but hopefully that will go away. I no longer have to ruin my clothes with an anti-perspirant, so I've switched to amazing crystal deodorant. I feel so much more comfortable in social situations! | F | 26 | 1 months | 9/3/2007 | 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 | 3 | for dizziness | none | M | 5 years | 10/1/2007 | 4 | Hyperhydrosis | dry mouth, eyes, occasional dizziness | I have experienced some side effects but overall this medication is great! Finally some relief from hyperhydrosis! | M | 26 | 3 months | 11/1/2007 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | none | this medicine is amazing! it has enabled me to have a normal life. | F | 20 | 2.5 years | 12/17/2007 | 4 | Hyperhidrosis | In the first few months occasional headaches and dry mouth. Sometimes difficult to focus pupils. | Robinul gave me the ability to control my palmer and planter HH. It has literally saved my life and given me the confidence I need to interact socially. The side effects even at their worse were nothing compared to the fact I could write, touch and be "normal" around people. | M | 17 | 3 months | 12/18/2007 | 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 | 4 | IBS | side effects were very minimal, but hard to focus pupils/dizziness, trouble urinating, and got heated really easy, because it minimizes sweating. | perscribed 2mg a day, but works fine at 1 mg a day. i normally take it 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner. | F | 22 | 3 months | 3/19/2008 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | None | I've suffered with hyperhidrosis all of my life (28 years). This medicine has absolutely changed my life. I can wear clothes without worrying about sweating through them and it helps my sweaty feet as well (along with drysol). I would highly recommmend it to those suffering with hyperhidrosis. | F | 28 | | 4/2/2008 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | The medication worked great for hyperhidrosis. I have experienced some odd side effects that I was hoping some others have experienced. For about two years I have had migraines on the right side of my head, and annoying muscle problems on the right side of my neck and right upper back. I also sometimes had racing heart and unexplained nervous shaking. All of those problems have vanished since beginning Robinul. It's like a godsend. Something was obviously amiss with something involving acetylcholine. Anyone else? | M | 3 months | 4/12/2008 | 5 | MENOPAUSAL HOT FLASHES AND NIGHT SW | NO SIDE EFFECTS | THANK GOODNESS FOR ROBINUL...I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES. I WAS EXPERIENCING AS MANY AS 20 OR MORE HOT FLASHES IS A 24 HR PERIOD. THE FIRST DAY ON THIS MEDICATION I HAD 1. TODAY IS THE SECOND DAY AND SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD ANY. I SURE HOPE IT CONTINUES TO WORK LIKE THIS, BECAUSE I REFUSE TO TAKE HORMONES AND I HAVE TRIED ALL THE NATURAL REMEDIES WITH NO SUCCESS. | F | 2 days | 4/24/2008 |
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.
