Hello Louise.

I was prescribed propantheline because I perspire a lot even when just resting.

Don't know about anti spasmodic but I am on 15mg and they leave me with a dry throat and blurred vision.I hate taking them but they have eased the sweating.

Hope this helps

Did u get a fast heartbeat with it?

[Drearydot in reply to Hidden]

Yes louise sometimes my heart beats so fast it almost scares me to death.

Sometimes I wonder if the side effects are worse than the original illness but my doctor says it will get better in time

[Hidden in reply to Drearydot]

Rather alarming really don't think il take them ,go back to my go I think

[Drearydot in reply to Hidden]

You may be right.My husband says as they work I should stick with them.But sometimes it can be frightening if you wake up in the middle of the night with your heart pounding.

If you do go to your GP please let me know how you get on as I am not sure what to do for the best

[Hidden in reply to Drearydot]

Yes I will,I agree with u it can b scary when that happens
