| 4 | excessive sweating | dry mouth and sore throat | M | 41 | 2 months 4mg 1X day | 11/17/2011 | 5 | extreme facial sweating and blush | About one week of dry mouth and nose | It's a Godsend medication it Cured me in about 3 days! Life changing. Side effects lasted only about 1 week maybe because I drank lots of water. I aked my Doctor for Robinul because I had uncontrollable nervous facial hyperhidrosis for about 10 yrs. Doctor said I can take up to 8mg. The max I took was 4mg worked Great. Take on empty stomach. Thanx! to everyone that recommended Robinul to me | M | 34 | 4 weeks 2-4 mg 2X day | 11/1/2011 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) | Dry mouth | To quickly sum it up, if you have problems with excessive sweating....Robinul may work for you as well as it has for me...I couldn't be happier. Long story.....I've had problems with excessive sweating for 20 years. Anytime that people around me might be sweating too, I would literally be dripping. And I would always be the first to start sweating. Those situations never really bothered me though as I just laughed it off and it was normal to be sweating then. Over the past few years though, there were times that I would start sweating in business meetings...and the more serious or stressful the meeting, the more I would sweat. I'm in sales and routinely close very large deals and it was never a question of nerves or confidence. I went to my dermatologist and asked about beta blockers as I thought it was a problem with adrenaline. She instead suggested Robinul and I'm so glad she did. The prescription she gave me was for 2 mg once a day. What I've found though is that as a previous poster mentioned, the medication doesn't need to be taken every day. I also found that 2 mg wasn't really enough for me. So, what I do now is take 4 mg on the days I have big meetings and am worried about sweating. And it works amazingly. I do get a really dry mouth, so I always carry a water bottle into meetings with me....but it is so much easier to explain a water bottle than it is to explain why you're sweating during a big presentation. | M | 40 | 4 months 4 MG 1X AN | 9/28/2011 | 5 | Excessive sweating | Dry mouth and skin | Has given me a few problems with drymouth because I am a singer and I have to drink water, while singing to keep my lips, teeth and tongue from sticking together. Even with this side effect I still love it. Robinul has changed my life. I wore wigs or extension for the past 3 years because of my sweating, now wig free and loving it. No longer do I feel uncomfortable or worry about smelling like sweat, when I am around other people, and no more comments like "are you alright", when people see me sweat. I now sweat when others are sweating. My advice is to try it, there are side effects, but you may be like me and feel the good outweighs the bad. | F | 43 | 4 months 2mg 4X day | 9/27/2011 | 3 | Excessive sweating | I am 24, and I have been Excessive sweating for all my life, because of this I am always indoors.... I live in Ghana and I have try so many medication but non work, I really would like to try to Robinul,.. But the problem is where can I find this since I am not in the USA, can I buy this online | M | 24 | 1X day | 9/25/2011 | 1 | hyperhydrosis | Hives for two months along with angioedema after stopping the robinul. How many others have had this problem. It is horrible. | F | 26 | 40 days 6mg 1X day | 9/16/2011 | 5 | Severe Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth and sore throat. | The type of hyperhidrosis I have is generalized and sweat just drips off of me. I have been living with severe hyperhidrosis for 11 years now and it has only become progressively worse as the years have passed (especially since moving to a much warmer and humid climate less than 6 months ago). After speaking to maybe 5 doctors, including a dermatologist, my most recent physician agreed to try me on this drug. I have been taking this medication for 4 days now and since the 2nd day it has worked like a charm. I take 2 mg, twice-a-day. A number of patients suggested to take the medication on an empty stomach and I found that to be most helpful. First thing in the morning I take it and then at night before bed. I wish I had known about this medicine a long time ago, but I am so grateful that I stombled upon this website while doing research on medications used to treat this condition. I can not even remember being this dry and it is indescribable. It may take me a while to get used to the idea of not having to choose my clothing based on concealing the sweat; not having to constantly check to see if the sweat is noticeable; and so forth. I do experience the dry mouth and therefore a sore throat at times. To combat that I drink plenty of water and bought some cough drops. Hopefully I do not have to experience it for long, but if I do I will have to live with the side effects because I never want to go back to how I felt before. Thank you reviewers! Good luck. | F | 25 | 4 days 2 mg 2X day | 8/30/2011 | 3 | hyperhidrosis | blurry vision. slight headaches | M | 50 | 18 days 1 3X day | 8/16/2011 Patient History | 5 | Severe Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, dry eyes, minor headache | I have only been taking Robinul for 3 days now, and I have to say, I recommend it to anybody that has mild to severe Hyperhidrosis. I am so suprised on how fast and well this medicine works. I have had it for about 4 years now, and have tried every treatment out there besides the ETS surgery, which I have tried my hardest to stay away from. I would consider my Hyperhidrosis on a scale of 1-10 being the worst, as a 10. I was hesitant on taking Robinul because of the side effects, but to me, dryness of mouth and eyes (which is not very bad) is alot better than my hands, feet, armpits, and facial sweat. Anybody that has Hyperhidrosis knows how big of an impact it has on your emotional and physical self being. I don't think I will go another day without taking Robinul! | F | 20 | 3 days 1MG 3X day | 8/10/2011 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | No side effects except slightly dry mouth in morning | I've had a significant problem with year-round face, head and chest hyperhidrosis (even indoors) since I was a teenager. I've tried everything. Nothing worked until I found Robinul. I'm using the generic. I started at 1mg and didn't see much difference. 2 mg helped a little. 3 mg is perfect and I am dry all day. Amazing and yes ... life-changing. I live in Central Texas and it is very hot and humid here during the summer. | F | 55 | 3 days 3 mg 1X day | 7/26/2011 | 5 | mild hyperhydrosis | Slight dry mouth | This worked like a miracle drug! I only take a 2mg capsule in the morning and stay dry the whole day. I feel more comfortable in social situations and am truly grateful that I stumbled across this. | F | 22 | 1 weeks 2mg 1X day | 7/25/2011 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, but it seemed to get better as time went on. | I read up on this before I took it and I too noticed people calling it a miracle drug. Well, they're right. Like any medicine, some people won't do well on it or it just won't work, but it did for me. I've been suffering from embarrassing head and face sweating for years. It affected me in every aspect of my life. I wasn't able to socialize like I wanted to and it was just plain humiliating being in a room, inside, and all of a sudden break out into a sweat like I had been doing yard work. I tried Botox. Twice. It got rid of, for a while, my frown lines but did nothing for my sweating. I went to the dermatologist, and he said he wished I had come to him before spending so much money on Botox. He said Robinul has a good success rate. To make a long story short, I started taking it, and at first, was taking it twice a day. I read where one guy had success taking three pills once a day so I tried that. It is amazing. I still sweat, but now, it's like a normal person sweats. I don't sweat for no apparent reason, and when I do, it stops when I go inside where it's air conditioned. Before, once I started sweating, it was like someone turned on the hose and left it running. It has made a difference for me. I no longer sweat at night. I am dry, dry, dry!! You have to play with the dosage to see what works for you. The dry mouth got better after a few weeks but to me, I would rather have a dry mouth than look like a sweaty pig all the time. Plus, it helped me up my | M | 35 | 1mg 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | dry mouth | I've been suffering with hyperhidrosis ever since I was born. I had the surgery to repair my sweaty palms which worked great but it caused compensatory sweating which has been a nightmare. I sweat on my back, face, groin, legs etc. I finally decided to take Robinul and I can see a HUGE difference in my body already. I live in Houston where the temperatures get up to 105 degrees. I have not had any sweating issues over the past few days which is a miracle. So far all I have to do is take 1mg and it lasts all day. | F | 30 | 3 days 1mg 1X day | 7/4/2011 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, dry nasal passages, reduced bladder urges, dry eyes. | I'll just say that for me Robinul is everything I'd hoped it be. I am really completely dry now after suffering from extreme entire body (mostly face) sweating. Some of my work includes sales and I cab say that I am much more confident now that I do not have to sweat like a crazy person. I'll give a few pointers for use that I have learned: First, these pills dry up anything they touch including your tongue. So when taking them, get them as far back in your throat as possible to prevent them touching much of your tongue. This will significantly reduce dry mouth side effects. Second, if you feel like you need to go, do not hold it. This pill will relax your bladder and you won't feel the pain you normally would if you were holding it without the pill. This is important because holding it is not good for your bladder and can lead to side effects such as over active bladder etc... Dosage: I am a pretty big dude at 250 lbs, I find that 2 mg in the morning lasts for 11 hours, but takes about 2 to start working and gets stronger until about 6 hours at which it begins to level out and then diminish. This means I get about 9 hours of effective use and about 6 at full strength. If I take first thing in the morning I am covered for the work hours in the day and am happy. I think it will depend on the individual but this is what works for me. Stop waiting. Go see your doctor and see if Robinul can help. BTW I take the generic and it works great at only $10 for 30 1mg pill | M | 23 | 10 days 2 1X day | 6/30/2011 | 5 | severe head and facial sweating!!!! | dry mouth. | this medicine has changed my life!!!! i am now taking 3mg a day. im pretty sure i will have a to increase to 4 to 5mg a day. But its working really good. once i get the dose right ill be all set. No more hiding when im ask to go to a social event. i do recommend taking it 2 hours before or after you eat. it is much more effective. My Hyper.. is really really bad. i couldnt even walk a flight of stairs without sweating like crazy. Of course you get the "are you ok" which makes it worse. It completely controled my life in every aspect. Work, home, social events etc. I suggest that if your suffering with this problem to talk to your doctor and give it a try. | M | 40 | 3 months 1mg 3x d 3X day | 6/3/2011 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth | Two words to describe the effects of this drug, "life changing". I have struggled with sever head sweating all my life. Not anymore! This drug has changed my life! | M | 36 | 1 months 3-6MG 2X day | 5/23/2011 | 4 | Sweating | I have no side effects | I love Robinul, no more sweating for me. I am just wondering on the hot summer days if i will have to up my dosage. I started out at 1mg and up to 2mg. The only downside is I have no insurance and it is costly, $60 a month! If anybody knows of how to get a hold of this prescription at a lesser price let me know! | F | 26 | 2 months 2mg 1X day | 5/20/2011 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | dry mouth, dehydration, congestion | Despite the side effects I love the way this medicine helped me feel "normal". I am amazed how many people have had good experience. My closet is too full of black clothes. Everybody thinks I am in love with black and that I wear it because it is my fav color. WRONG! I like black but LOVE other cute colorful clothes that I could never wear. Often I would try some other colors but I would find myself running to the store in the middle of the day during my lunch break to go buy me something black because I would have horrible stains. It sucks to shake people hands and see them wiping their hands because they got wet from mine. Arrrrg. I went to the doc to get a botox but he told me to try ROBINUL... no way I am going back and getting 100 units of botox injected in my armpits. Ouch. btw, prescription deodorants didn't do it for me either. I have been struggling with hyperhidrosis since I was a teenager. not fun!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! | F | 28 | 7 days 2 2X day | 4/29/2011 | 5 | hyperhidrosis | dry mouth, dry eyes | I've had hyperhidrosis since i was a teen (or even before) and its a horrible condition, as you probably know if you're reading this. About 10 years ago I started taking glycopyrrolate and am very happy with the results. Its given me back my life and confidence. My concern now is regarding potential long-term effects. There is very little research/evidence regarding long-term use and associated health impacts. I foresee needing this drug for the rest of my life, but also have to weigh this against any potentially more severe health risks due to extended use. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU KNOW OF ANY LONG-TERM (10+ years) HEALTH IMPACTS OR SIDE-EFFECTS FROM TAKING GLYCOPYRROLATE. | M | 33 | 10 years 2mg 1X day | 3/9/2011 | 5 | underarm sweating | dry mouth | this is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. finally i can wear/ buy something other than black. so so so happy. i have had this problem for 6 years now and have tried honestly everything from over the counter to botox and NOTHING worked. i had lost hope until i tried this medicine and it worked wonders. strongly recommend! | F | 17 | 7 days 2 mg 2X day | 2/15/2011 |
