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)

 5  IBS It made me a bit drowsy, so I tried to wait and take it close to bedtime. Slept GREAT and woke up with a little anti-depressant buzz. If I take the full dose at any time, I become agitated and jittery, can't handle it. So I cut them in half. My doctor gave me this for IBS. At the first sign I would take half a tablet and BAM! it stops the problem very quickly. When I can, I try to delay taking till closer to bedtime, but in a pinch will take at any time. THe IBS has gradually resolved over the years and now the same med. has been prescribed for me to dry up fluid in my ears. I hope it works. In any case, the side effects are pleasant ones.

 5  Hyperhidrosis Difficulty urinating, dry mouth This drug is awesome! Unfortunately, I have developed a very shy bladder, but hopefully that will go away. I no longer have to ruin my clothes with an anti-perspirant, so I've switched to amazing crystal deodorant. I feel so much more comfortable in social situations! F 26 1 months

 5  Hyperhidrosis Really none that I have noticed. I have suffered over 30 years with Hyperhidrosis. I recently started a new job and just prior to that started taking Robinul in hopes I could enjoy my new job and finally feel normal for once. I wanted to post my information in hopes someone suffering as I did would see this and look into taking Robinul for themselves. It has totally changed my life and I'm so very thankful. I went out and purchased nice new clothes for my new job. I feel so good about myself! I hope this helps others. There is hope and you don't have to suffer from Hyperhidrosis thanks to Robinul.

 5  hyperhidrosis Very few side effects. Mainly dry mouth and very mild headaches in the beginning. All of which were very minimal. Works miracles so far. I have been taking it a short time and so far so good. Does amazing job at drying up my overall body sweating. I actually feel like a normal person for the first time in ten years! I also find that it is not as effective when taken close to meals. You should wait about hour to an hour and a half before or after a meal. M 25 3 weeks

 4  hypohidrosis i didnt really have very many side effects mostly dry mouth and eyes, howevere during the summer months when it became hotter i would experience nose bleeds due to the medication drying me out. although i used nose drops to solve this. since i have been taking robinul i now couldnt live without it. my life is so much easier now. i found it so hard before with socialising and exams etc. however i couldnt imagine copeing without it now!!!

 5  Hyperhidrosis Headaches, blurry vision, constipation, somewhat dry mouth - but most of these side effects have either already disappeared or are very minimal. Highly recommend for symptoms of hyperhidrosis, including the feet. I take 1 mg at 10am, and 1mg 10pm (be sure not to take it too closely to eating because in my experience it tends not to work as well). I can't believe the things I am able to do, again, after nearly 25 years of either suffering through or avoiding! I also need only deodorant, now, rather than an anti-perspirant/deodorant - and I have been taking this while living in the hot/humid summer in Texas! I have heard that it might not work long-term for some, and then there are others who have been taking it for years - I'll take any time off from HH symptoms that I can get. F 40 30 days

 4  Hyperhidrosis of Hands and Feet I experienced mild headaches for the first month. Dry mouth at first but the longer I have taken Robinul, the less dry mouth effects me. I have taken Robinul for 7 years and it has changed my life socially giving me more confidence. I take 2 mg in the winter months and 3 or 4 mg in summer months to dramatically reduce my sweating of hands and feet. F 47 7 days

 4  Severe HyperHydrosis blurry vision, momentary disorientation, dry mouth, bloating, and extreme heat feelings due to lack of sweat. I can handle the side effects because the drug has given me back a huge part of my life. It worked mircles in drying up my overall body sweat including my underarms, lower regions of my body, and facial sweat. I usually take 2 tablet in the morning before I eat and it lasts all day. M 31 10 months

 5  for hyperhidrosis Dry mouth and blurry vision It has done wonders in drying up my sweaty palms that I've suffered with for years. I'll deal with the side effects. This is a good drug if hyperhidrosis surgery or expensive Botox injections aren't an option. I've been on 6mg everyday for 13 years. F 42 13 years
