| 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 | 4 | Only for underarm sweating | Depends on the dosage. Very dry mouth,throat,nose and eyes. Bloating. Dizzyness headaches and confusion | Although this has worked very well, especially when I take 3 or 4 1mg tablets daily. The side effects are quite worrying as my body must be so dehydrated. As soon as I drink water my mouth is instantly dry and I worry about getting heatstroke and being unwell while in the gym. But 3mg seems to be the best dosage atm so I am very happy with the results | F | 22 | 3 years 1mg | 7/6/2015 | 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 | 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 2 MG | 2/18/2015 | 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 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Slight dry mouth but other than that- amazing results! I have had hyperhidrosis my entire life (hands, feet, underarms, groin) you name it, it would sweat...all the time! I had taken this drug a few years back and it only lasted about a month then stopped working. I decided to give it a try again a few months ago and it has changed my life!! When i had taken it before i didn't know much about how to take it. This time around i did research and learned that it is most effective when taken at least 1 hour before eating. I had to play around with how many pills i needed per day and finally found that taking two 1mg tablets in the morning will last all day! Unless it was super hot then i would take another in the afternoon and be sweat free! This medicine is a life saver! I would recommend anyone trying it to give it time and experiment with multiple ways to take it because it really does work now that I've found this routine! | F | 24 | 4 months 1mg | 10/24/2014 | 3 | hyperhydrosis | Extremely dry mouth and eyes. Worked extremely well the first few days I took it, was so excited. Now it only seems to work now and then..I wake up 2 hours before I have to get up for work to take on empty stomach, etc...and still doesn't work very well...any one else have similar experience or have some advice. | F | 38 | 2 months 2-3mg | 10/14/2014 | 5 | Hyperhydrosis/ hands and feet | Dry mouth and dry nasal passages | I wrote a review two years ago but thought I would give an update. It still works great! I still take it twice a day, morning and night. It works best if you take it at least two hours before eating in the morning. I don't worry anymore about my hands sweating while taking this medication. In my other review I talked about all the treatments I have done. Nothing came close to being as effective as Robinul. The key is finding what dosage works for you. My life has drastically changed since taking it. I no longer avoid situations where my hyperhydrosis might embarrass me. Any side effects I have had went away after a few weeks. This is a great drug for managing hyperhydrosis. | F | 32 | 2 years 2 mg 2X day | 8/6/2014 | 5 | Facial Hyperhidrosis | Light dry mouth and dry lips | M | 30 | 1 months 2mg 2X day | 7/22/2014 | 5 | All over sweating | I have hyperhidrosis: cranial and body. Hands and feet are fine. This medicine has helped me with my social life and job. Without it I would avoid social events or chit chatting with neighbors. Which made me so anti-social. I take 2mg on days I know I would have to go out. I get dry throat but I suck on Halls and it helps me a great deal. Don't take 2 doses at once, just space them out through out the day for very hot days. Take one dose in the morning on an empty stomach, 1hr to 2hr before eating. | F | 37 | 10 months 2 1X day | 6/28/2014 | 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 | 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 | 3 | sweating excessive | I'm sweating excessively since my childhood but rubinol is not in pharmaceutical shop in Nigeria it is available on line | M | 32 | 1 days | 3/10/2014 | 5 | extreme hyperhidrosis | I don't take it everyday but when i'm about to be in a social gathering or out in public I'll take one 2mg in the morning on an empty stomach. 2 hrs later it kicks in. Lasts all day. I'm able to live again now. To keep my mouth from being so dry I use biotene mouth wash. It solves the issue asap. This is my 3 month review. Thank God for Avert :-) !!!! | M | 39 | 3 months 2mg | 1/25/2014 | 5 | extreme hyperhidrosis | Mild dry mouth and occasionally dry throat. Will also have to use eye drops as well. This has changed my life. I have lost out on many high paying jobs, meaningful relationships, and you name it because I would sweat so much. The first day was amazing. It's only getting better....Thank God for this medicine. It has given me my life back...Amen | M | 39 | 1 weeks 2mg | 11/9/2013 | 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 |
