Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Bentyl has made a world of a difference to me. I no longer have quick spasms where I have to run to the bathroom. I can finally live my life without worrying if I will be able to make it to the bathroom or not. Of course, not all of my symptoms are completely gone but I don't think that is possible with IBS.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have had stomach issues since I was a kid. I was recently prescribed Bentyl up to 4 times a day. It works great, calms my stomach and digestive system down like nothing else I have tried over the counter in the stores has. It can make me a little fuzzy headed or tired on occasion but it doesn't happen every time. I will take that small side effect over my stomach problems any day. I highly recommend it.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Doesn't stop the spasms completely but does make a big difference. Does make me sleepy.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: After being diagnosed with iriitable bowel syndrome with constipation, I was started on Bentyl 20mg up to 4 times a day. At first I was not happy with the tiredness so I only took twice daily, but now I take it 3-4 times a day as needed. Although it doesn't eliminate all of the cramping and gas pains, it does make a huge difference.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I find since taking Bentyl 10mg twice a day, I have a very salty taste in my mouth and I salivate more. Even though a side effect is dry mouth.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Overall, the Bentyl works really good but at times, the spasms get to be to much that I take a prescription pain pill along with the Bentyl. Works great.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): I was prescribed this medicine for diarrhea associated with a bad case of Giardia I picked up. It not only gave my bowels a rest but eased the cramping and dulled the pain. I found it an excellent sleep enhancer as well, which is about all you want to do when in the midst of a cramping bowel attack.

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've been suffering for two weeks before I got perscribed Bentyl. Bentyl has helped greatly and helped with the urgency I was feeling. I don't like the drowsy feeling it leaves but I suppose I'd rather have the tiredness than the constant problem of "going". Bentyl has been a good medicine for me. I recommend it to others who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or other problems!

Bentyl (dicyclomine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Just started taking it and it really hasn't helped much at all. One nasty side effect I'm having is that every time I take a pill I have a fever spike that runs up to around 101 and my vision is blurred. I have no idea why it's doing this to me.
