I have been using hyoscyamine for 30 years. It was prescribed to me for colon spasms and overactive bladder. I am having extremely dry eyes and extremely dry mouth and cough all night long. The dry throat and coughing has caused throat damage and because of the constant coughing and irritation I am seeing a voice pathologist for voice therapy.
How can I wean off hyoscyamine without side effects?

sick of medication; As many years as you have been on this medication, you really should get help with getting off of this with the doctor that was giving it to you for so many years. During the meantime it may help, to talk to your pharmacist about getting something that helps keep your mouth and throat moist. Best of luck. Chuck1957
