Excessive Salvia

Hi has anyone had experience of using 1% atropine eye drops for excessive saliva? Doc is suggesting Hyocine patches but I think the side effects maybe worse than the drooling. My dad has only recently been diagnosed so any advice would be welcomed. Thank youHi has anyone had experience of using 1% atropine eye drops for excessive saliva?

A dignified journey

Just before Christmas he was put on atropine in the hope that this would help the dribbling, which was annoying for him and embarrassing. Atropine caused dad trouble almost immediately. He began to hallucinate and had a terrible time for a few days.Just before Christmas he was put on atropine in the hope that this would help the dribbling, which was annoying for him and embarrassing.

What dose of Flecainide were others given for chemical cardioversion?

A met call was made and I was given atropine and adrenaline Intravenously as my HR was between 12 and 20 beats per min and my BP was 60/ 0 , as you can imagine I was slipping away. Thankfully those drugs brought me round and I was still in sinus rhythm. It was extremely frightening.A met call was made and I was given atropine and adrenaline Intravenously as my HR was between 12 and 20 beats per min and my BP was 60/ 0 , as you can imagine I was slipping away.

Well, you don’t look ill.

I was diagnosed in 1989 at the age of 24 after repeated Uveitis episodes resulting in an Atropine injection in my eyeball and 3 weeks later steroid in what looked like a spider sack under my eye.I was diagnosed in 1989 at the age of 24 after repeated Uveitis episodes resulting in an Atropine injection in my eyeball and 3 weeks later steroid in what looked like a spider sack under my eye.

Venesections

The response was rapid and excellent: oxygen, atropine (be sure to look this up: belladonna, with very marked side-effects) and off to A & E for the rest of the day. Two new words: bradycardia and vasovagal. I seem OK today, DG.

Bradycardia - had enough, going round in circles

I am a 37 year old Mum and have had suffered from episodes for years, ranging from needing atropine to boost me after a procedure, to excessive yawning, greyness, sweating and hairs standing up on my arms. Family say I can so pale I look grey.I am a 37 year old Mum and have had suffered from episodes for years, ranging from needing atropine to boost me after a procedure, to excessive yawning, greyness, sweating and hairs standing up on my arms.

Secretions and Saliva

Mum is on atropine and hyoscine patches and amitriptyline to dry up saliva and secretions but they do not seem to be sufficient and her SPO2 is dropping to 85. If anyone has used atropine then what is the maximum dose that you have administered?Mum is on atropine and hyoscine patches and amitriptyline to dry up saliva and secretions but they do not seem to be sufficient and her SPO2 is dropping to 85.

Atropine drops useful?

I hear of atropine drops being given for excessive salivation and am wondering why my husband's doctor has never mentioned them.He has taken glycoprylate for years supposedly to help with this condition but recently while in hospital a different Dr. said the glycoprylate would make it worse and tookI hear of atropine drops being given for excessive salivation and am wondering why my husband's doctor has never mentioned them.He has taken glycoprylate for years supposedly to help with this condition but recently while in hospital a different Dr. said the glycoprylate would make it worse and took

Thick Saliva - Confused

She has been on atropine drops which were working so well but now does not seem to be as effective. The build up of thick salvia is causing mum to cough for 15-20 minutes at a time. We're looking for a suction machine, but confused as to which one is the best.She has been on atropine drops which were working so well but now does not seem to be as effective.

Drugs/Side Effects/Lack of Sleep and CHC

Because of hallucinations, we changed from Atropine drops to Hyoscin patches, then lived in a nightmare for 48 hours. B. was acting as if he had a UTI, trying to get out of bed , constantly babbling and tossing and turning.Because of hallucinations, we changed from Atropine drops to Hyoscin patches, then lived in a nightmare for 48 hours.

Glycopyrrolate or Atropine?

I discovered Glycopyrrolate's efficacy as compared to Atropine and will go back to the original prescription in 4 hours (though Atropine has a half life of 2 hours) Another article noted that half of the Atropine taken is "lost " in the urine.....and as noted only has a half life of 2 hours.....MyI discovered Glycopyrrolate's efficacy as compared to Atropine and will go back to the original prescription in 4 hours (though Atropine has a half life of 2 hours) Another article noted that half of the Atropine taken is "lost " in the urine.....and as noted only has a half life of 2 hours.....My

Atropine

Perhaps the atropine helped the drooling as intended, but he still had several bad bouts of choking on sticky phlegm in the night. Worst of all, he kept insisting on getting out of bed.Perhaps the atropine helped the drooling as intended, but he still had several bad bouts of choking on sticky phlegm in the night.
