Experiences with

Atropine

Hi All, Wondered if anyone had used Atropine eye drops as a way of sometimes managing the build up of saliva? J has a number of tissues to hand at all times in an attempt to manage saliva escaping her mouth. I'd heard that eyedrops containing Atropine can act to dry the mouth.

The Neurologist has given him Atropine drops which helped initially but their affect has now worn off. The Neuro has now suggested Botox injections. Has anyone had success with these injections? Thank you so much for this forum, it has been so helpful for us.

I have been recommended to have botox injections into my saliva glands in order to control my drooling but last week I was unable to swallow any food after taking 4 drops of atropine under my tongue. Has anyone got experience of botox injections ?

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 you

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.

Has anyone used ATROPINE drops for phlegm?Or any other meds or method for reducing it? I think I shall drown some days 😳 Chocking x Atropine x Phlegm x Mucus

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.

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.

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. Peter

I have heard that travel sickness patches can help dry up mucus and also atropine drops. Has anyone tried these or can advise. He is coughing all the time night and day.

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.

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?

At night nurses took my bp heart rate which read 30 and 34 they went into panic wanted give atropine speed heart up.

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 took

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.

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.

Wondering if anyone has had a reaction to Atropine Eye Drops, the ones they put in to dilate pupils for eye investigations.

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.....My

I asked the neurologist about Atropine drops but he says they will cause more disorientation and wouldn't prescribe them. Thanks for any advice. Take care, Carla
