My symptoms are progressing faster than before and I am running out of ideas to deal with my saliva. Atropine just dribbles out and patches give me scaly skin so that leaves Glycopyrronium Bromide which is the only one that pipes in. Is there a stronger liquid? I am saving X rays for when my swallow fails, and Botox has been Covoided. Any thoughts?

When you say "pipes in", do you mean through your feeding tube? Or are you smoking it πOriginally posted by matthew55 View Post
If you don't want to up the glyco dose, your next meds options are amitriptyline or carbocisteine, both of which come in liquid form.
Did you get any idea from Salford on when they might resume their Botox service?

matthew55, if you put 'saliva' into the search box at the top, you should get links to two very good threads about controlling saliva. I was reading them this afternoon.Each day is made easier with a bit of humour.Comment
