| 3 | Generalized Hyperhidrosis | Dry mouth, constipation | As for the side effects they are really not that severe, and if you suffer from generalized excessive sweating, you don't really care anyway; whatever helps is fine. What lower my rate of satisfaction is 1) the short time during which the drug is effective 2) the uneffectiveness when NOT eating on empty stomach. I usually take some 60 mg on empty stomach in the morning, which keeps me dry some 5-6 hours. But after that, my afternoon dose is almost useless, because then I have food in my body after eating lunch. The afternoon dose will last for 2-3 hours in my case, which is not to satisfaction. So, there were days when I ate 100 mg of this drug but still sweated a great deal only from walking home at evening. But then my HH is severe, so other people might have better luck with it. As for me, the drug keeps me dry for some hours if I take it on empty stomach, but it doesn't provide the security I was looking for. I will try Robinul asap. | M | 25 | 3 months | 9/12/2009 | 2 | Hyperhidrosis | When it worked; extreme dry mouth, eyes, nose and ears. Water was required in order to swallow food. However my hands were very dry. | Results will vary from person to person. I used this a few years ago and would not use again. Robinul (glycopyrrolate) is alternative. | M | 21 | 1 months | 6/13/2009 | 5 | Hyperhidrosis-Sweating | Dry mouth. Disorientation.Difficulty swallowing food when taken half hour before eating. Slight loss of voice at times. | This drug has worked wonders and changed my life.Sweating is normal.Very effective when taken on an empty stomach & works within 30 mins.Side effects worse for following hour, but acceptable & getting better.Can make eating difficult within 30 mins.Less effective & less side effects when taken near meals.Like most hyperhidrosis sufferers, I wish I had found this drug 30 years ago.This is an anticholinergic/antispasmodic/antimuscarinic drug that inhibits nerve receptors.Side effect is it stops sweating. This is the only drug GP in UK can prescibe.Although side effects not too bad, concerned about driving & being refered to specialist to try Robinul(Glycopyrrolate).Other drug option Ditropan (Oxybutynin).Sorry, HH sufferers have to do their own homework on drugs because doctors are not very knowledgable. | M | 50 | 4 weeks | 7/5/2007 |
