I was prescibed this medication for over-active sweating when nothing else worked for me. I am very satisfied and i do not sweat anymore unless i am working out or i am hot. I started out on 2 mg 2x a day and now i only take it once daily in the am.

I have had problems with excessive sweating for years.I was at the point where I wanted to stay home, and never get ready to go anywhere. Each time I would start to dress, and dry my hair, or put on makeup, I couldn't because I would sweat so bad my makeup would run down into my eyes, my dry hair would get soaking wet.I just stayed depressed, and slept most of the time.My neurologist sent me to the Mayo Clinic, and it was there I was prescribed glycopyrrolate 2mg. twice a day. My entire life changed. I can now get ready, put on my makeup, and not worry about the sweating anymore.I was just a miserable person, and didn't know who to turn to, because no one understood. I kept hearing that maybe it was hormones, hot flashes, or nerves.The excessive sweating had taken over my life, and I just didn't know who else to turn to. To me, this is a miracle drug. I had asked several doctors for help, but none knew what to do. They just didn't understand the extent of my sweating.The trip to the Mayo Clinic was 6 hours & 25 minutes away. The total cost of a 2 day stay in a motel in Jacksonville, plus food, and gas was over $500.00, but was worth every penny spent.I know there are others out there who are going through the same thing as I did, and I hope they read this message.Read More Read Less

The only meidcation that stops the severe cramping/nausea that can go with IBS when having a really bad attack. Side effect that is most bothersome in ocnstipation, but that goes with IBS so I am used to it :) I am so grateful that my Dr. prescribed it. I consider it a lifesave.
