Protheline has been an awesome for me. I started with Banthene in 1968 then it changed to Probanthene. Now, it's Propantheline and it is a must have drug for any quad (IMHO). They stopped making it for awhile, so I rationed out one bottle for the past couple of years. I just got a new prescription 2 weeks ago!!! Happy camper here!!
It had worked for me for 44 years. I had never heard of using half a pill before the discussion here on the Q-List. It works really well. Thanks for the tip! ________________________________ From: Lori Taylor <[email protected]> To: greg <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 5:00 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Propantheline Hey Greg, I'm glad to hear Propantheline is working for you. I know it works real well for me too. I'm not a doctor, but have been a quad for over 34 years. So, I feel the need to give you a bit of caution... Sweating and rapid heart rate--heart beating hard are a quad's '6th sense'...pain sensory and is a part of dysreflexia... I cut my 15mg propantheline in half. That way, I can see if I can stop the sweating w/out my mouth drying out too bad and w/out my heart beating too hard. If I feel ok, but am still sweating after a bit, I take the other half. Please be careful b/c what you're dsaying about your heart beat could be a recipe for disaster. I'm only saying this b/c I know that feeling. Please consiider 1/2 a pill. ________________________________ From: greg <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, December 18, 2012 1:31:49 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] Propantheline I sweat so bad during my b-program, it is very uncomfortable. I mean buckets. A few people here mentioned Propantheline. I tried it and it worked great. I took 15mg. The only issues I had was dry mouth for a few hours and my heart beat hard for just a bit. I really hope it continues to work well, it is so much better. I just pop one before I start. Thanks everyone for the tip. Greg
