| 5 | Sweating, Palms, Forehead, Feet | Wow, this really works. After trying almost everything except surgery with really no improvement in my palm, feet and sometimes forehead sweating, I am extremely happy to see this working for me. 2mg Once a day in the morning keeps me dry all day. If I miss a day, the sweat comes back. Trust me you will feel the need for this immediately if you miss more than 1 day of dosage. Have been suffering for past 2o years. Just worried about the long term usage consequences. | 35 | 8 months 2mg 1X day | 2/26/2012 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | dry mouth and eyes | I have suffered with sweaty hands and feet all my life. Socially this has been a tremendous set back. Avoiding hand contact with anyone, anything. I found this actual webpage a few months ago which lead me to ask my doctor about Robinul. This medication has changed my life! I recently was in a wedding and I was able to dance, shake hands...without the embarrassment of constantly wet hands. Anyone suffering from this should give it a try. I have tried many topical things without avail. This has worked for me!!! | F | 34 | 1 weeks | 10/26/2008 | 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 | hyperhidrosis | none | this medicine is amazing! it has enabled me to have a normal life. | F | 20 | 2.5 years | 12/17/2007 | 5 | Excessive sweating | Dry mouth, sore throat, headaches (may be due to Enbrel or combination of both) and oddly in the last 2 weeks I have had a sore throat and the feeling that I have something caught in my throat. I've coughed, tried my best to clear it, and drank as much water as possible-upwards of 100ozs per day like always) to no avail. One time I was able to cough up mucous which was thick and awful tasting. I am unsure if I am getting some type of virus and this is the beginning or if this is due to Robinul and dry mouth etc. It has lasted for a couple of weeks and I have not gotten sick, so maybe due to the crazy winter we've had it is allergies like everyone else in the area, only I don't typically suffer from seasonal allergies. I may have to back off the dosage and see if that alleviates this problem for me. Even if it doesn't I will not stop taking the medication as it helps with my sweating so much. If anyone has had this sore throat, feeling like something is caught in your throat fee | This medication has drastically reduced my sweating, and as everyone else here has noted I can live normally now. I even wore a gray t-shirt-which I ALWAYS avoided like the plague before. I still have some sweating but it is what I would consider normal sweating like if I am working hard or in the gym. I take adderall also which I think contributed to my sweating, even though the dr said it's not listed in the side effects, and even when I take the full dose I do not see the terrible sweating. I used to avoid taking a full dose of adderall due to the sweating but now I can take it and not worry about sweating, so it has not only helped the sweating it has helped me take the adderall I so dearly need to function making this a double win for me. | F | 31 | 30 days 2mg 2X day | 3/3/2012 | 5 | Excessive sweating generalised | dry mouth, dry skin | This is the tablet I have been seraching for! I have suffered with hyperhydrosis for 20yrs and tried ALL sorts to cure it. This tablet is amazing and has thankfully enabled me to have a normal life. I dont think people realise how debilitating this condition is and how it has a massive negative impact on life. This tablet stopped my sweating completely after 2hrs of taking it and lasted all day!! (TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH) Its a God send and only wish I'd known about it earlier. But better late than never. I'd recommend this to anyone with this condition as the side effects are nothing compared to the effects of hyperhydrosis. Thanks to this website I found out about this treatment. | F | 34 | 35 days 2 1X day | 2/20/2012 | 5 | I am dry, need eye drops to lubricate eyes from dryness. | It's a miracle that I can come out of the shower, and towel dry and be dried and not take 1/2 hour to dry off. Amazing that I am dry all over and nto sweating like a poig as I usually do all day. | F | 45 | 6 days 1 mg 1X day | 4/24/2012 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet | Dry mouth and dry nasal passages | I have suffered from hyperhidrosis of the hands and feet since around the age of 9 or 10. I am now almost 30. I have tried drysol, Ionotophoresis, and botox injections in my hands. None of these treatments gave me the dryness I was striving for like Robinul. I take 2mg in the morning around 6 or 7am on an empty stomach and I don't eat for 2 hours. I then take 2mg again on an empty stomach before bed around 9 or 10pm. I did have some side effects of dry mouth and dry nasal passages that went away after about 2 weeks. I do have some minor difficulty in urination but only slightly and hardly that noticable. I wouldn't even call it an issue at all as I'm still able to fully urniate. These are the only side effects I have experienced. For the first time in my life I can go out in flats, heels and sandals and not worry about my feet being obviously sweaty. I can also shake hands with people and not worry about them sweating. I also exercise and still sweat. My back and face will still sweat but my hands are still dry. My feet will still sweat when exercising but I think it's mainly because I am wearing socks and inside a tennis shoe. Once I take them off my feet dry right up. I would definitely recommend this drug for anyone suffering from hyperhidrosis. | F | 30 | 1 months 2 mg 2X day | 5/7/2012 | 5 | Hyperhydrosis in feet and hands | When I first started taking it, my mouth and eyes got dry. I occasionally get a dry throat but it is 100% worth it. It doesn't even feel like I have hyperhydrosis anymore. This is such a miracle pill. | F | 15 | 3 weeks One 1mg | 5/16/2012 | 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 | hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth and nasal passages, indigestion. I take from 1-3 mg a day depending on my needs. Works very well, however, I cannot eat or drink anything for a few hours after taking, ootherwise it doesn't work well. | F | 33 | 2 years 1mg | 6/26/2013 | 5 | Excessive sweating | If I take two at once, I sometimes have blurred vision for a shirt time. I take two a day during hit days but space them out. It's the only thing that works for me. | F | 41 | 2 years | 6/26/2013 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis-face/scalp/back/chest | Dry mouth, fatigue, dry nasal passages | F | 38 | 2 days 2mg | 8/3/2012 | 5 | Hyperhydrosis of the underarms | I've experienced the dry mouth, throat, & eyes along with my vision be especially sensitive to sunlight | My dermatologist was weary about giving me the RX due to the possible side effects, but when nothing else proved to be working-he agreedto give this a go. It's only been 1 week but it definitely seems like a keeper. Even with intensive exercising and cardio workouts-I haven't felt dizzy or lightheaded! I used to sweat so bad under my arms that I'd have to change my shirt & bra about 3x per day, and any other color besides black? forget it! Since taking Robinul, I've been able to wear any color I desire and any type of shirt (I would wear loose fitting T-shirts to try and minimize the underarm circles) I'm extremely pleased with my results thus far and hope that it continues to be as effective. For now, I may stick with the 1 MG pill in the morning and add 1MG in the evening if necessary! I'd definitely recommend this Rx to anyone having problems with hyperhydrosis. | F | 21 | 7 days 1MG 1X day | 4/1/2013 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis severe | Headaches, dry throat, dry eyes, occassional bloating, occasional fatigue | Robinul really works! I've been suffering with hyperhidrosis all my life (am 30yrs old) and have tried Botox and dry sol to no avail. My dermatologist suggested I take 1mg of Robinul /day. It had no effect on me. he suggested I try 1mg in the morning and 1mg at night. I instead decided to take 2mg in the morning; it worked but for only 3-4hrs. I tried taking 3mg but the side effects were too severe for me; it would hurt every time I ate and my throat would be so dry I could barely talk. So I went back to 2mg and tried, as someone suggested in this site, to take it on an empty stomach. And BINGO This worked! I take it as soon as I wake up in the morning and then I do not eat or drink anything for 2-3hrs and I must say it works wonders! I feel like a normal sweat free person. It has the effect of eliminating my sweat for about 10hrs - 12hrs with very minimum and tolerable discomfort. I can use my contacts and i can even now wear clothing other than black. sometimes I get headaches in the morning and my nasal passages get really dry especially if it's cold out but it's nothing I can't handle. Tip: your throat becomes very dry especially after not drinking anything for the first 2hrs after taking the pill. Drink something warm like tea or coffee to avoid pain when eating your first meal in the day. If I take it for 3 or 4 days straight the side effects do become less severe. I have also noticed that if I take it for 4 consecutive days and then stop for a day or two, I go can | F | 30 | 1 years 2-3mg 1X day | 2/21/2013 |
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.
