| 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 | Hyperhidrosis ( face and scalp) | Dry mouth and throat | Robinul it is the name of a miracle that changed my hell life to heaven I can now act like normal being.

While taking tablet make sure they don't touch your tongue this will help dry mouth 3.Drink as much water as you can, soon as you take the tablet to prevent dry mouth and headache 4.Always carry a water bottle with you as you can feel thirsty many times | M | 23 | 7 months 2mg | 4/6/2017 | 5 | excessive sweating | dry mouth.. | Robinul changed my life. I used to sweat 24/7 no matter if the weather is hot or cold. since taking this medication I can tell that I sweat normal just like any person... give it a try it's so worth it. | M | 23 | 2 months 4-6 MG 3X day | 9/26/2016 | 5 | Craniofacial Hyperhidrosis | Dry eyes & mouth | I have dealt with craniofacial hyperhidrosis for years now. The worst has always been the back of my head...my hair would be drenched even if I was just at a social event, shopping at a store or at work. It's always been so embarrassing & it interferes with every aspect of my life. It's hard to feel feminine & enjoy date night with my hubby when my hair is literally soaked from sweating. I was taking oxybutynin on & off for the last few years because despite feeling drugged & totally spaced out on it, it helped a little for a couple hours. Today I started glycopyrrolate (Robinul) & I haven't stayed this dry in a loooong time! I'm used to the dry mouth from taking the other med, but I felt alert all day & could function! I took 2 mg this morning on an empty stomach (I don't usually eat breakfast anyway) & my head/face has been dry all day. Amazing! I totally recommend this for hyperhidrosis! | F | 37 | 1 days 2 mg | 9/13/2016 | 5 | Excessive salivating | I have multiple sclerosis....have suffered excessive salivating for past 5 years....neurologist recommended Robinul which I have been taking 1mg in am and another in pm....I also take injection 3x weekly of Copaxone for MS....I am no longer needing to spit every 2 minutes since I started Robinul...this has been a blessing... | M | 46 | 1 months 3mg daily | 7/27/2016 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Slight headache, dry mouth | I have experienced extreme sweating since I can remember. My doctor suggested this medication for me and it works. I started with 1mg which didn't really work. I take 3mg when needed but you have to make sure you drink PLENTY OF WATER!!! Also, when you take the pills, make sure they don't touch your tongue. This will help combat dry mouth. Place them as far back on your tongue as you can and wash them down with water. I dink at least 20oz of water immediately after taking them and sip on water all day. This prevents the dry mouth ad headach. The pills last all day. I may need to take another 3 the next day. In the winter, 2 mg will suffice, but summertime will require 3mg. Good luck, hope this helps. | F | 41 | 4 years 3mg | 7/10/2016 | 5 | Hyperhidriosis (hands, feet, etc.) | Dry Mouth, dry eyes, dizziness | Robinul changed my life. I suffered from having sweating hands and feet my whole life. My friends and family used to always make fun of me. I was embarrassed to hold hands with girls I've dated. But ever since I started taking ROBINUL, the sweating immediately stop. It boast my confidence and made me feel good about myself. Yeah I get dry mouth and dry eyes from side effects but hey it's better than waking around dripping sweat and being afraid to shake your homeboys hands. I recommend Robinul to anyone who has Hyperhidriosis. I only take 2 MGs in the morning an hour before I eat and it covers me the entire day. | M | 20 | 7 days 2MG | 5/21/2016 | 5 | axillary hyperhidrosis | occasional dry mouth | I was initially prescribed Robinul as a teen when my hyperhidrosis was at its worst ever! Seriously it was awful, and my regular doctors kept saying it was because of my clothing or some BS. Finally saw a different family doctor and she wrote me a Rx for Robinul without hesitation - life changing! The sweating calmed down in my mid 20s, and without insurance for a long time I ended up discontinuing Robinul for a few years. Unfortunately when I hit 31 it kinda started back up again, but since I (luckily) have health insurance again I now have a dermatologist who helps me keep the hyperhidrosis in check. | F | 32 | 9 years 1mg 2X day | 2/28/2016 | 5 | Hyperhydrosis | Dry Mouth, Sore Throat | I would recommend this to anyone who struggles with sweating. I mainly just sweat on my face, which is super annoying. From what I can remember, I was always a sweater, runs in my family, so I was definitely looking for something to help with it. At first, I took only 1mg a day, just to see how it did, and it wasn't enough for me. So now, I take 3mg once a day, and it works great! It leaves me nice and dry, but leaves you with some serious dry mouth, which I would take any day over sweating. Its definitely better to take it on an empty stomach, it would work faster. This is a great pill and it works! | F | 24 | 2 weeks 3Mg 1X day | 12/14/2015 | 5 | Sweating problem | Robinul aka Glycopyrrolate is a wonderful medication to be used if you have an over excessive sweating problem. I sweat a lot (my arm pits, my back, face, forehead, palms of hands, feet......basically all over). I tried everything from different deodorants, to powder on my armpits, rubbing alcohol under my arm pits to dry them out. I even got Botox injections in both of my armpits to stop the sweating ( Botox is only temporary and you have to get injections every 6 months and it's very expensive...$1,400 for the Botox injections). The Botox helped my sweating but 6 months later I began to sweat even worse than before. My dermatologist than suggested Robinul and prescribed me a Rx for 1 pill a day. Within 4 days my sweating was GONE!! No more sweaty armpit stains, I wasn't embarrassed to shake someone's hand, my forehead and face no longer dripped when I was hot. It has really done wonders for my awful sweating problem. The medication is a bit expensive without insurance but with insurance it's about $1 per pill (depending on the pharmacy...Walmart is the cheapest) and I only need one daily. The only real side effect I experienced was dry mouth and dry skin but it's well worth it considering how bad I would sweat previously. I would highly recommend this medication to anyone who has has a sweating problem. - PLA KEEP CALM AND STOP SWEATING #Non-Sweating | It worked for me! | F | 27 | 3 years | 10/31/2015 | 5 | hyperhydrosis | Dry mouth,blurred vision, eyes feel strained, painful urination, headaches, flushed face,sensitivity to sun, swollen fingers and feet ocasionally, and dizziness. | I have been on Robinul 13 yrs. It's been an awesome drug. I will Sweat in the air conditioning, when I was first put on it I had extreme dry mouth, and some blurred vision. I have fainted from being dizzy. I had a constant headache on and off (more on) for over a year. I experienced hard time urinatin. Within last 9mths I've have painful urination. The side effects can be rather annoying. But it's worth it to me, rather than running sweat 24/7 | F | 26 | 10 years 4mgs | 10/1/2015 | 5 | Excessive hand/feet sweating | Headaches, dizziness, dry mouth | I love Robinul because it seriously has changed my life. I used to sit in school and sweat so bad that I couldn't hold a pencil. In summer I couldn't wear flip flops because my feet sweat so bad they would slide right out of my shoes. The only complaints I have are listed above. I find it very hard to go to the gym because I get extremely dizzy there from dehydration I'm assuming which is worrying, so I don't do my best. I also have been getting very cold lately, to the point where I'm almost always in pants/sweatshirt even in summer. Has anyone else had these issues? | F | 22 | 1 years 1 mg | 7/21/2015 | 5 | hyperhydrosis | Dry Mouth, sore throat | This drug cured my excessive sweating within hours of starting it. I've only been taking the generic glycopyrrolate for 5 days but it's helped so much. Dry as can be. The side effects are annoying. Dry mouth happens sometimes and the sore throat too but other than that it's so worth it to get rid of excessive sweating problems. | M | 24 | 5 days 4mg 2X day | 7/20/2015 | 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 | hyperhydosis-excessive sweating | I haven't had any yet. But it has been a life saver. I suffer from hyperhidrosis my whole life. | I have had the ETS surgery where they cut the nerve to stop sweating on my hands. I had bad compensatory sweating on my whole body. This has curved it by at least 75%. The generic is very affordable and works well also. | M | 38 | 1 years 2-3mg 1X day | 6/12/2015 | 5 | Palmar & plantar HH | On 2MG I experienced really really dry mouth and dry eyes. It' was very difficult to wear contacts while using 2MG dose so I would wear my glasses. I decreased my dosage to 1MG every morning and my eye and mouth dryness is much bearable. Noticed this stuff causes my stomach to make strange noises and also regulates my digestion. | i've suffered from HH since I was 12 or that's as far back I can recall that I was conscious of it. I remember hot summer days at school with no a/c and my hands would leave imprints on the desk, it was so embarrassing. I was always conscious of the shoes I bought, always afraid of sliding out of sandals or heels or ruining the material from my constant sweating. I am 28 now and this stuff is LIFE CHANGING!! I wish I could've discovered this a long time ago. I suffered for so long and it's definitely affected my social life. Although Robinul is not a cure it works and it gives amazing relief! I will definitely be taking this for as long as I can. Going to keep spreading the word on HH boards about this stuff. | F | 30 days 1MG 1X day | 6/5/2015 | 5 | Excessive sweating | Dry mouth in the beginning, then it went away. | This medicine saved my life. I've been dealing w/excessive sweating after my son was born 9 yrs ago. I asked my Dr about it and was told my "hormones were still high because I had given birth". I didn't bother asking again b/c it wasn't bad in the beginning. It's gotten progressively worse through the years. At night I'd wake up drenched. My hair would be wet from night sweats. I once took my son, who was then 2, to an amusement park with a friend who also had a 2 yr old. As we stood in line , sweat just poured from my face, neck. I looked around and I was the only one sweating. At my baby shower with my second son, I was constantly dabbing at my face while opening presents. For some reason I still never thought to inquire about it. That changed this spring when I started school. I had to go on campus for training and by the time I got to the room I was sweating pretty hard. I went to the ladies room to freshen up but I could still smell the sweat when I got to the training. If I could smell it, I knew they could too. I immediately called my Dr and set up an appointment. She put me on generic Robinul.I love it! I have had no side effects, thankfully. My confidence has taken a boost as well. I would have probably dropped out of school since my major is not online. I couldn't have imagined going to class reeking of sweat. Thank God for Robinul! | F | 45 | 1 months 2 mg | 5/25/2015 | 5 | general hyperhidrosis | dry mouth when taking over 2mg | All these comments helped me a great deal with my HH and the choice of taking every step to get hold of this drug (not available in my country). So I'm returning the favour and I want to share my experience with you. I have suffered from general HH since ever. I'm not a severe case, but it made my professional and social life hell. i've tried for years every possible drug, but nothing worked 100%. i had to mix different medicines and do a lot of preparation before a potentially scary event. all this until i decided to give Robinul a try. That was a turning point for me. I had nearly lost any hope before trying this lifesaver drug: it works so well and has never let me down that I am literally enthusiast about it. It does give you mouth dry, but for me only when I go over 2mg. If I stick to 2mg is perfect and if I need to prolong the effect, I take another 2mg but not before 10-12 hours after the first one. It's crucial that you take it at empty stomach, otherwise it would not work. I usually set the alarm like 5-6am early to get one and go back to sleep for another 2 hrs before having breakfast. Then, if needed I take another one in the early evening. Go easy with alcohol especially during the summer, as there's risk of dehydration if you're not careful. I've made that mistake myself and it's not pleasant. I'm sorry for those of you who don't see any tangible benefit, try and review what you have been doing, take it far way from meals and understand what's the best dosage for | M | 39 | 1 years 2mg 1X day | 3/7/2015 | 5 | excessive sweating on head/face | slightly blurred vision, drowsy in the evenings. That's it! | Have been sweating profusely since I was an infant. Using drysol (in a dobber) for a year and stopped my hands and feet permanently from sweating. My head/face have now found the same result. This is amazing. Increased from 2 to 3 to 4 to 5, which has now been ideal. | M | 46 | 30 days 5mg 1X day | 11/18/2014 |
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.
