Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 -hi, your best bet is to search the archives; there's plenty of info out there. i don't think " so many people on this list are using it " but as kristy says, debbie tiger has used it. i have also used it but not on a regular basis as in england i could only get it compounded in aqueous cream which i don't want to apply daily. kay -- In VulvarDisorders , " lhavrylkoff " <lhavrylk@b...> wrote: > I may have missed this in previous posts, but where can you get > Atropine cream?

I would like to ask my doctor for this, but I'm having trouble finding info on the internet for Atropone in a cream. So many people on this list are using it and have gotten some relief from it. Is is something that is compounded? How can I get this? >> Atropine cream has to be compounded. It's derived from belladonna is usually used for the eye, in asthma medications and for abdominal surgeries. If you search the archives of this list you can find quite a bit of information about it. The only way to get it is to have your doctor prescribe it. It can be compounded several different ways - it just depends on what you, your doctor and your pharmacist agree on. My pharmacist prefers sulfate, Maureen likes her compounded with olive oil, etc.... I have found it reduces my inflammation, especially post sex acute inflammation. Where I could burn for days after sex before I started using Atropine cream, my after sex burning now usually disappears within an hour or less after applying it. I have had vvs pain free sex since I started using it - but that took two months of using the cream twice daily. It hasn't made my vvs a thing of the past, but it has made my sex life more enjoyable. If you only have pain after sex, I'd recommend trying it. If your vagina seems to small for your partner, I'd also suggest trying it because it has significantly reduced my chronic inflammation. I would caution that Atropine cream does dry out the tissue and/or glands. It has dried out my glands that produce arousal lubrication, which has made sex painful again. Not from vvs burning but from a lack of lubrication. I've cut back on the amount of Atropine cream I use and I'm trying different oils/moisturizers to see if they will stimulate my glands to start producing arousal lubrication like it used to. My glands are slowly returning to normal. Spaedt prescribes Estradiol to be used along with Atropine cream in an attempt to counter the drying effect. I know one woman has her Atropine Cream compounded with olive oil and I haven't heard her complain that her tissue or glands are drying out. But I'm not sure if she's been using the same amount of Atropine for as long as I have. Debbie Tiger I remembered to change the subject lines Ora!!!!

That you understand she may not know how to and you have the number of a compounding pharmacy that does produce Atropine cream for vv/vvs. I think Ora posted some information about how Atropine cream works a few months ago, you might search the archives and take that information along too. << I get so red with *sharp*, *knifelike* pain just on a small area of the membrane at the entrance when it is entered,and,well, you know.>> That's the pain I have and in the same location. Lidocaine doesn't numb me enough for sex. Atropine though is a god send after sex. If I use it after sex, I do not have any burning or acute inflammation the next day. And if I have any burning right after sex, it's gone with in a couple of hours. It also has significantly reduced my chronic inflammation.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I never used atropine cream but did use it in pill form. It is called Urised. I really helped me when I was having severe clitoral pain. Ora > >In a message dated 2/11/04 10:44:17 PM, VulvarDisorders >writes: > ><< Someone wrote about atropine.
