I have suffered from hyperhydrosis since the age of 10. Cold and clammy hands,feed and groin area. Hated it. I'm a athlete and it became embarrassing as I grew older. Avoiding contact, not being able to play instruments, hold hands with women, and much more.. Back then, there wasn't enough research on glycopyrrolate, so dermatologists did not recommend it. Currently I am a 26 years old male, so I gave it another try and made an appointment with another dermatologist. Surprisingly, doing my own research, I asked if I could be prescribed to Glycopyrrolate. I put in the effort and got what I wanted..I've been on 2mg for the past month, it's been a dream come true..I can now feel the warmth in my body again not having to constantly dry my hands, avoid handshakes and being affectionate with my girlfriend. I have noticed that 2mg works but 3mg causes too much dry mouth,slight headache,dry throat...2.5mg works like a charm, however the capsules unfortunately only come in 1mg/per. Also, I've noticed that taking this med for a few days straight increases the effectiveness, thereafter, for the next 1-2 days,this med is not needed. Perhaps because the body is still absorbing the medication. Thank you all and Please give it a try! 02/17/2016

I am 65 years old and have suffered from WHOLE BODY hydrous all my life. It wasn't until I was 63 that a doctor told me about glycopyrrolate. WHAT A lifesaver it has been for me.

I am 65 years old and have suffered from WHOLE BODY hydrous all my life. It wasn't until I was 63 that a doctor told me about glycopyrrolate. WHAT A lifesaver it has been for me. I was at the heaviest that I have ever been, which only made the problem worse. I did not want to leave the house due to the problem. I always felt grubby because I was always soaked from head to toe, regardless of the weather. Now, with the glycopyrrolate, which I take as needed, from 1-6 tablets a day, it is not a problem anymore. It's like a miracle for me. It needs to be better known by physicians. Most of my doctors did not even know what it was. My dermatologist is the one who prescribes it. She instructs that I take in lots of water when I'm taking it, as it can be very drying. Also, never use it if you have glaucoma. Good luck!

I have been taking this for just over a week. It has not helped yet. I sure would like some satisfaction real soon. Hyperhidrosis of the groin on a man is unbearable. I just don't know where the sweating came from after 70+ years dry and normal.

I have suffered from moderate hyperhydrosis in the hands, feet, underarms, and groin since I turned 22. 1.5mg a day dramatically reduces symptoms with minor side effects. 2mg per day increases dry mouth, urinary retention, and slight light headedness but completely eliminates symptoms. I am an athlete so care is taken when exercising but I have not had any major issues controlling body temperature. I believe correct dose is essential as there is a fine line between ineffective and side-effects. I do not take this medication daily but typically only when I need to be dry, so approximately 3 times weekly. Linking several days in a row increases efficacy. I take on an empty stomach and do not eat for 1.5-2 hours afterwards. Not eating is essential to functionality although slightly inconvenient. On a personal note, since taking this medication my quality of life has dramatically improved and I am able to do activities I enjoy again. I would highly recommend trying.
