| 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 1 3X day | 2/6/2010 | 5 | Excessive sweating | Holy cotton mouth initially | The side effects are much worse when coming back to it after a break or just starting it alltogether on the max dosage, which if you want the full effect, do that. I was tired of having to deal with sweating during the day when there was definately no reason to, that's really what hyperhydrosis is and it WAS annoying. But this stuff really regulates things. First day of school for the year, it was atleast 70 degrees out, having taken one before bed and one in the morning I did not sweat at all, not even a little bit at all during the day. It was probably one of the best days of my life. It sounds sad but I live by this stuff, every single night before bed and every single morning before I leave for school. | M | 17 | 4 months | 1/23/2010 | 5 | overall hyperhidrosis | dry mouth, eyes, throat, nasal passages, flakey dry skin. overheating, blurred vision, puffy fingers | Just like everyone else, this drug really changed my life. I grew up with my family members making fun of my sweaty hands and feet. I used to wear only black or white clothing and sweatshirts all the time to hide the sweat marks under my arms. For the past 7 years I have been free! I take 2 mg a day. One in the am and pm. I still sometimes have sweating problems on some days. My skin is dry and flakey but I don't mind. Lotion for extra dry skin like jergens works very well to mask that. I use eye drops for moderately dry eyes and that keeps me comfortable. Just drink a lot of water. This was honestly the best thing that the naval hospital has EVER recommended for me. I love it. | F | 21 | 7 years | 1/4/2010 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, blurred vision (occasionally), overheating during vigorous workouts | This medicine changed my life when I started taking it 11 years ago. It has always worked best for me when taken on an empty stomach. It has also been important to not eat for 2 hours after taking it. I wake up 2 hours early, take my meds, and then go back to sleep. Side effects decrease over time. I rarely experience dry mouth anymore. I will overheat if engaging in vigorous workouts in hot weather but in general have no problems when working out indoors or in cooler weather. | F | 26 | 11 years | 11/16/2009 | 4 | Palmar & Plantar Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, sore throat, hoarse voice, urinary hesitancy | I've been taking the generic form of Robinul for a while now. I'm 100 lbs and take 2mg in the morning and a couple of hours later my hands and feet are dry. It keeps me dry for about 7-8 hours. I'm no longer afraid of meeting people and shaking their hands. The side effects suck, but it's a small price to pay to be dry and not have everyone pull away in disgust when I touch them. | F | 22 | 9 months | 10/28/2009 | 5 | Hyperhydrosis | Very dry mouth | My 19 yo son has been taking Robinul. He suffers from extreme facial and body hyperhydrosis. It makes his life just a nightmare. He handle's it well. I did the research on this site and found out about Robinul. Convinced our derm to prescribe it cause at first she would not. After trying 1-2 mg a day...not to much improvement. When he takes 3 at one time on an empty stomach...he see's big results. I would highly recommend this med to ANYONE suffering with this horrible condition! One has to try different doses to see what works. My son does say the the dry mouth is quite bad.... | M | 19 | 3 weeks | 9/17/2009 | 5 | overall hyperhydrosis | Dry mouth, dry nasal passages, slight urinary hesitancy, slightly blurred vision | This med has changed my life. I had severe sweating all over my body that started when I was in my 30s and seemed to be getting progressively worse. Lab work showed no reason for it. It affected my social life and what I wore and what I did. I was afraid to date! Summers were hell and I actually moved to a place with a year round cool climate to help. If your condition is this severe you will not mind the side effects. To me they are better then the sweating. I take 3-4 mg in a.m. on an empty stomach. If I go somewhere warm I take 6 mg in am and may take up to 10 mg during the course of the day as needed. I drink a lot of water to help overcome side effects and find that helps a lot but I still don't sweat much. Mints or gum help with the dry mouth and nasal drops for nose. On days when it is cool or during winter I don't take it unless I plan to do something where I would expect to sweat so you can use it on an as needed basis. My doctor had never heard of it so I took in info on it and documentation to show it could be used for this reason. | F | 43 | 2 years | 8/19/2009 | 5 | hyperhydrosis | Dry mouth and nose. Sensitivity to sunlight and a headache. | I love this med. I have been taking it for about a week. I had the most embarrassing axillary hyperhydrosis for years. I use the drysol at night under my arms and take 2 1mg tablets of the robinul daily. The side effects are not as bad as the embarrassing sweat stains under my arms. This has definitely changed my life!! I can feel normal and I can buy regular shirts. I feel like a new person!! | F | 28 | 7 days | 8/3/2009 | 5 | sweaty palm | mild dry mouth and troat. Somtimes puffy fingers | This is a very effective drug however it doesn't help that much when I am nervous or when I know I am going to shake somebody's hands. It starts sweating no matter what. Before, it was dripping even in a very calm situation but now it does only when I am nervous or expect interaction with people. I have been getting this medication from my doctor for a long time but my doctor has become an out of network physician with my insurance recently. I am unable to find any other doctor to prescribe this for me. I asked my PCP but he didn't even know what kind of drug it is. Can somebody give me direction as to how I can obtain this medication and what kind of specialty should I seek to get this drug? Does anybody know any physician in Southern California who can prescribe robinul for me? | F | 37 | 3 years | 7/26/2009 | 4 | Excessive Sweating | Occasional dry mouth/eyes, very mild drowsiness | I've been taking Robinul for a little over a half a year and the results have been impressive. I started with Hyperhidrosis (Of the hands, feet, face, and trunk) during adolescence and it only got worse as time went on. Not terribly noticeable during school but during sports and social events it became quite embarrassing. I started dosing on Robinul at 1mg twice a day, morning and night. It was fairly effective from winter into spring but summer made that dosage fairly ineffective. I take about 3-4mgs a day now during the summer, and while it's very helpful, I still sweat copiously. I still recommend this drug for anyone with mild Hyperhidrosis. And to the user who can't find the right dosage, you're just going to have to weigh the pros and cons and decide from there. Risk overheating a bit or the embarrassment of excessive sweating? | M | 18 | 7 months | 7/24/2009 | 3 | severe facial hyperhidrosis | Headaches, dry mouth, dry nasal passages | I sweat no where on my body but my face and back of my neck area. I sweat severely! My face will be dripping with sweat, literally dripping and rolling off my face. I have had this problem for years. Also, I am ALWAYS hot!! Read this website and researched Robinul went to Dr and asked for a prescription. Dr told me to start 1mg morning and night, he told me to adjust until I found what worked for me. When I took 1mg morning and night I had no response. But when I took 2mg I did not sweat but when I got hot it's like I over heated. I guess cause I don't sweat anywhere else I couldn't cool down. I cut one in half and took 1 plus half of another so 1.5mg and got no help. I am not really sure about this medicine yet. Any thoughts? | F | 43 | 12 days | 7/16/2009 | 5 | craniofacial hyperhidrosis | dry mouth, but can be resolved with hard candy or gum(sugar free, of course) very minimal blurred vision | I have had this condition since I was in my pre-teens, but never knew what it was. I remember standing in front of our church during childrens hour one time and was drenched in sweat and could not understand why, I walked out and of course my mother came behind me and put me in the car and turned on the A/C, that was the most embarrassing time of my life. From that time on, I have dealt with this issue until now and I am 40 years old. I have been told by others I must have a thyroid issue, went to the doctor, no tyhroid, you must be overweight, getting my diet and weight under control, so I decided to do some research myself and one day researched on "head and facial sweating" and boy did the word hyperhidrosis flood my screen. After reading these stories and doing the research on the drug, I ran to my doctor to get his opinion and he agreed. Even my doctor had told me, "oh it is just nerves and anxiety", keep yourself calm. How could I do that when I had a overexcessive nerve that would flare up and cause excessive sweating when under stress or in social environments. I work in the technology sector and I have been in Data Centers working on servers and dripping sweat and others have coats on. I travel a good amount also and in this day of post 9/11, I get looked at oddly all the time, but since having this drug, I can say THANK YOU JESUS! I have only been taking the drug for a few days, but have noticied a change already. I expect to travel next week a | M | 40 | 3 days | 6/4/2009 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, mild constipation | This was the "miracle drug" I was looking for. I have moderate-severe general hyperhidrosis, with auxiliary controlled by topical aluminum chloride. I had tried that elsewhere (palmar, plantar) to no effect. Iontophoresis was not helping. After seeking Botox for my hands, as they are by far the worst, this was prescribed instead. What a difference! My hands haven't been dry in over five years. It's only been a week, and I may look to up the dose to help with facial and plantar sweating (which has been reduced but not as much). Side effects are completely tolerable and much better than the discomfort I faced from the extreme palmar HH. | F | 21 | 9 days | 5/29/2009 | 5 | hyperhydrosis | dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nasal passages | i started out 1mg in morn and 1mg at night. i'm now up to 2mg in morn and 1 mg at night. love this drug! i have worn flip-flops for the past 4 days. i could not wear any type of sandal for most of my life, so this is major! saline for nose, and "tears" type lubrication for eyes, but "who cares, i can wear nice shoes now!" wish i had used this sooner, like 14 years ago! | F | 31 | 4 weeks | 5/26/2009 | 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 | 3/22/2009 | 3 | hyperhidrosis | dry mouth, dry eyes | have been taking for 2 weeks and am a little disappointed. not the miracle cure i was hoping for. started with 1mg two times a day, and am at 2mg in morning and 1mg at night. does anyone know the maximum number of mg you can take at one time? i've heard 8 mg max per day, but how about the max in one dose? I'd like to try 3 mg in the morning but don't want to take too much | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 2/23/2009 | 3 | Anxiety, sweating | dry mouth, blur vision, headaches. | i asked my doctor for this after doing some research. i constantly sweated in anxiety situations and for just sitting at home. I took this for about 2 weeks. i took 1mg every morning. I latter went to my dermatologist for a acne issue and asked him about it, and he told me DETROL LA was better and had less side effects. i been taking this for a month and its a miracle, i recommend it to anyone who hates excessive sweating and wants a break through with no side effects. it doesnt have to control your life! DETROL LA!!! | M | 18 | 2 weeks | 1/20/2009 | 5 | Heavy sweating (hyperhydrosis) | Slight blurred vision, very mild. | This is a godsend. It has pretty much stopped my hyperhydrosis symptoms. For me this is a life changing drug, no more flop sweat in social situations. | M | 47 | 2 months | 12/28/2008 | 5 | Facial Hyperhydrosis | None | I have had mild facial sweating all of my life but it has gotten much worse over the last five years enough to cause problems in both my social and professional life. Robinul has truly changed my life. I take 2mg early in the morning and 1 mg at bedtime and occasionally an additional 1-2mg in the evening before a meeting or social event. I can now attend meetings, parties etc. without sweating and can wear normal clothes. I have had no side effects. I strongly encourage anyone with severe sweating problems to try Robinul - start with a low dose and titrate up to the effective dosage for you. | M | 53 | 4 months | 12/18/2008 | 3 | sweaty hands,feet,armpits | sorta dry mouth, dry eyes | I've only been taking it for a week- 1mg twice a day. It has helped a little. Not extreme difference though. May up the dosage. I haven't really been able to wear my contacts though, because it makes my eyes so dry. Anyone w/ this problem sohuld try Robinul. | F | 15 | 1 weeks | 11/28/2008 |
