papasamThis week my ENT who is trying to treat me for menieres disease placed me on Robinul, when I asked him why he said it would help me with the staggering effects that I am having. The pharmacist of course used the generic version glycopyrrolate. Since that time I have been zapped with no energy or little energy and I feel nervous and impatient all the time. I also take 30mg of valium a day so I shouldn't be nervous. Anyone out there with any ideas or experiences?

Dear papasam... robinul is a drug like atropine except that it does not cross the blood brain barrier so u should not have
Any mental effects... like atropine psychosis in the elderly. However it is also an anticholinergic drug meaning it mimics the effect of the of the sympathetic nervous system. I am sorry, I know this must mean gobble de goop to you. Basically it makes your
Mouth dry and speeds up your
Heart rate so you might feel a
Little jittery. Let your doc know how u r feeling. Perhaps he can change the medication??? Your side effects are
Normal for this drug's side effects. Good luck... pup

Thanks, actually I do understand what you are saying. The jittery feeling is getting somewhat better so maybe my body is adjusting to the med some.
