| 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 | When I first started taking it, my mouth was really dry. Now it is fine and I experience no side effects. If I take twice what I usually take, my body gets jittery for about 45 minutes but gets better after that. | I take the generic brand called Glycopyrrolate. It is the same thing but it is cheaper and works great! This medicine has changed my life and I thank God for it! I suggest it to anyone who is tired of sweating messing up there lives! | F | 14 | 4.5 months 2 Mg 1X day | 6/10/2013 | 5 | excessive sweating | My side effects are blurred vision sometimes, constipation, headaches, dry mouth.....i would take these side effects anyday to be able to have confidence and not be embarrassed...and not having to wear a jacket in the middle of summer to hide stains EVERYWHERE | F | 16 | 2 years 1mg day | 5/19/2013 | 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 | 5 | Excessive sweating (head) | Dry mouth and nasal passage | Generally I would wake up in the morning with my pillow drenched in sweat and it seemed everywhere I'd go I'd be dripping sweat, even in cooler weather. From the first day I took Robinul I woke the next morning completely dry! My initial doses I was given was two pills in the morning. Unfortunately by the third day I had a strange taste sensation and my mouth became excessively dry. I was eating breakfast and it became impossible to chew and swallow without taking drinks between every couple of chews and then to assist swallowing. It was initially a let-down, but I noticed that this subsided by that afternoon. I consulted with my dermatologist that prescribed me the medicine and suggested that I try reducing the dosage to one or 1 1/2 a day, or the two but taking only one twice a day. There were still a couple of onsets of what I had the third day of taking the medicine, but it looks like I've finally got it down for me. I now take one pill a day, and I take it at night before going to bed instead of the morning. I haven't been experiencing the extreme mouth dryness, I haven't been dripping sweat or waking up with my head soaked in sweat. Currently I seem to only break a sweat when doing more strenuous activity such as exercise, which is actually the time you want to sweat. If I have any of the dry mouth side affects in the first couple of hours of taking the medicine I'm not aware of it when I'm asleep. If this keeps up and I don't have future issues with the dry | M | 44 | 14 days 2 mg 1X day | 2/18/2013 | 4 | hyperhydrosis in armpits | Just dry mouth and maybe some blurred vision. | This is an update since I recently started taking 2mg/day. New dosage decreases my sweating significantly. I'm usually dry all day, however if I have really bad anxiety I do sweat but it's very very minimal. That being said im sure if I took 3mg/day id be completely dry but it's not that much of a problem for me to increase dosage. Overall still recommend this to anyone suffering from this embarrassing problem. | F | 21 | 2 months 1MG 2X day | 2/2/2013 Patient History | 5 | head and facial sweating | Extreme dry mouth | F | 52 | 4 months 2mg | 1/1/2013 | 5 | Cranial Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth | F | 51 | 3 months 3-6 MG | 12/27/2012 | 5 | Cranial Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth | F | 51 | 1 months 1 MG | 10/20/2012 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis-face/scalp/back/chest | Dry mouth, fatigue, dry nasal passages | F | 38 | 2 days 2mg | 8/3/2012 | 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 | 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 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | head/forehead sweating | Intense Dry Mouth, sore throat | After reading comments from you all about a week ago, I cross-referenced Robinul on various sites, read doctor testimonials that assured me this was worth a shot, and although I may be speaking prematurely, this is the greatest drug out there, no questions asked. I was so pumped to read that this type of drug existed, I texted a buddy of mine, a dentist, had him call in the Rx, life's been better ever since. I'm truly upset that it took me this long to uncover a solution, and I have you all to thank. You're my Santa Claus this year, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. As far as symptoms, like many of you, my scalp & forehead would sweat. It could & would happen at any time, but most often at the least appropriate times (meetings, dinner table, close quarters, etc.). And as I've read from many of you, there didn't seem to be a way to stop the sweating. From there, I'd almost develop a panic attack. And no, the SSRIs didn't help, although my stint with Paxil was a short one. The past 5 years have been rough, it's actually gotten worse over time, and now I see there's an answer for me. So thank you for your suggestions. I feel like a new guy, no fear, no worries. I start with 2 mgs early AM (7 am), then I go with 1-2 mgs later in the day (between 2-3 pm) depending upon the ensuing situations I'll be in. I couldn't be more pleased. Side effects are nothing compared to what I was dealing with, and it sounds like they'll lessen over time. I'm in. Thank | M | 36 | 6 days 2 MGs 2X day | 12/24/2011 |
