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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Facial hyperhydrosis Dry mouth, blurred vision, flushing, hot flashes, headaches, heat intolerance, photosensitivity. It worked but was not worth the side effects. The only reason I stayed on it so long is because my face and scalp sweat so bad and I work in the beauty industry. As soon as Botox was approved by insurance I switched to that. F 25 90 days

 1  Hyperhydrosis headache, dry mouth, difficulty urinating, constipation My doctor prescribed this for me when I clearly wasn't supposed to be using it, because I have several of the "don't take this if you have this...", he prescribed the other stuff so why give this to me as well? Doctors are not safe!! I've been trying to get off of this drug, but I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. It's a very addictive drug, but you don't realize it until you miss a dose or try to get off of it. I noticed it at first when I missed a dose. If you can avoid this medicine, by all means, do so!

 1  Palmar Hyperhidrosis Dry eye, dry mouth that went away after stopping the medication. Also suffered severe belching and bloating/abdominal distention after eating or drinking that never went away after stopping the medication!!! DON'T TAKE ROBINUL IF YOU HAVE CHRONIC CONSTIPATION! I went to a dermatologist in May 2014 for treatment of my hyperhidrosis on my hands and feet. I was initially seeking Botox but the dermatologist want me to try first Robinul/Glycopyrrolate. I first took 1 MG and it didn't do anything, but 2 MG made my hands completely dry. At first my only side effects were dry eye and mouth, but on the third day of taking it I developed severe belching along with bloating/abdominal distention after eating or drinking to the point I looked pregnant. I was working at my city government for an internship, and I had to shake a lot of people's hands, so I continued to take it for about a month until I couldn't put up with the bloating/distention anymore. Except the bloating/distention and belching never went away! 8 months later I still look pregnant after eating one meal, even drinking a glass of water makes me bloat! Why did this happen? I already suffered from chronic constipation, and information about the drug says it slows GI motility and relaxes the stomach and intestinal muscles. So I guess I was susceptible to the worsening GI effects of the drug. Frankly, I wish I had never taken it because it's made my life miserable!!!! F 22 6 weeks

 1  Stomach pain Left me extremely dehydrated for almost 24 hours afterwards, could not drink enough water, cotton mouth, sped up my heart rate Was given to me in the ER, shot my heart rate up to 145. They had to follow it up with a blood pressure medication just so I could sit still again. The cotton mouth and dried-out feeling it left me with for the rest of the day was AWFUL. F 24 1 days

 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

 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

 2  underarm sweating Dry mouth,headaches, mood swing, incontinent (bed wetting), rash I tried Drysol but I broke out is a rash so I was prescribed Robinul which I thought would work but too many side effects. I think I should do the surgery where the clamps are used to suppress the sweat glands. this condition is horrible and extremely embarrassing. F 27 7 days

 2  hyperhydrosis Extreme dry mouth I took this for 2 weeks and even increased to max dosage of 4 mgs. I did not notice any difference. Should I give it longer? I suffer from extreme hyperhydrosis, mainly located in the head and neck area. This is very embarrassing. F 40 2 weeks

 2  Severe facial hyperhidrosis more sweating It's only my first day taking this, but I am disappointed that the first reaction to the medication is more sweating than before. I hope this is just the initial reaction and that it works as it has for others after I've taken it for a week or so. Otherwise, there's no hope for me. F 33 1 days

 3  Severe total body hyperhidrosis Dry throat, dry eyes, dry nasal passages I tried Avert at 2 mg. on an empty stomach, which is the original dosage that was recommended to me by the specialist I saw. I had high hopes as I was left incredibly disheartened by the fact that my case was deemed ineligible for ETS due to the likelihood of compensatory sweating and a ruined life. On Day 1, I felt 2 mg. somewhat helped although my condition still 'broke through.' On Day 2, I increased the dosage to 3 mg. and wow, never again! My mucous membranes felt incredibly dry - my nasal passages were so parched, as though I was battling a viral illness! I knew I'd hit my upper limit. Unfortunately, I tried 2 mg. again on two other occasions and felt that it possibly did not work at all; I still had a day of copious sweating. I'm still in hopeless search for a solution...

 3  Plantar HH headache thus far Well after reading this forum - i am highly impressed on how many people have had such a high success rate? My primary focus is for my feet for a mild/moderatae case of plantar HH. My question is can anyone tell me how many days it took for any results and the amount of milligrams they have been taking. I am hoping that someone will respond as this has somehwat destroyed my confidence. By the way, as it is the first day - my hand are already dry - but I have been taking a liquid called formalaz which does help - but wears off after four hours. This works well with my both the hands and feet - but I am more interested in the success rate for the feet. So far I have had a few reactions, but not anything I will can not handle. Again if anyone can e-mail me regarding this that would be great. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. M 30 1 days
