User Reviews for Dicyclomine

Bentyl (dicyclomine): Once or twice a year I have a severe intestinal attack. I've decided I can't eat green vegetables if they aren't cooked thoroughly, and chlorophyl seems to be the problem. The pain is so intense, I have to take pain medication and lay down. It takes my system at least a week to fully recover. After two weeks of a recent bout, I was prescribed Bentyl. It works! But I swear my IQ drops 30 points. That's the trade off. Bently relaxes the stomach and the brain!

Bentyl (dicyclomine): I had stomach problems from the age of 14 and up. And naturally with how young I am and being so prone to ovarian cysts, my bloating up (looking 4 months pregnant at 110 pounds) and consistent stomach pains, they would always just assume it was a new cyst and give me pain medicine, even after being on TWO birth controls at once. When my doctor finally started to realize how frequently I was in so much pain that I'd just cry nonstop and the bloating would happen so often, he prescribed me Bentyl. I have to redo a endoscopy next month due to the last one not really working, but I can already tell a difference. I just don't like how goofy I can be and how overly excited I get. Other than that, I haven't had this kind of relief in years!

Bentyl (dicyclomine): I always had a stomach like a goat nothing bothered it then at 47. I had to go to ER they gave me Bentyl and it helped. I had another attack and screamed in pain my husband reminded me of the Bentyl and I took a drink of the liquid and pain stopped right then. This is a wonderful medication...I can function. I get a little loopy but no pain. I was diagnosed with IBS-C.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): Unfortunately, I have not had a good experience with Bentyl. I've had severely blurred vision after just 3 days of taking 10mg 3 x's per day along with extreme bloating. I have been extremely uncomfortable and stopped taking the medicine. Hopefully there is something else available to help my symptoms.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): I take Bentyl for irritable bowel syndrome flare ups and it does work for me. I would suggest taking it at night before bed or make sure your home because it can cause drowsiness and dizziness and dry mouth. This is an anti spasmodic. Also known as a muscle relaxer. So be careful when taking this. It really does work wonders.

dicyclomine: For years, I didnt know what was wrong with me. I gave up drinking alcohol because even enjoying one glass of wine would cause my stomach to bloat and I would be in so much pain it would even be hard to get to sleep. I guessed maybe an ulcer or acid reflux, something along those lines. Finally, I was able to go see a specialist. I told him I would have severe pain from eating certain foods or drinking certain things. I also had a lot of trouble with constipation and having regular bowel motions. He decided to first give me DICYCLOMINE and see how things went. I also started to change my diet, in with the good, out with the bad. Been almost a year now ....DICYCLOMINE-my lifesaver!

Bentyl (dicyclomine): When I first started taking Bentyl it worked very well. Aside from the side effects of being drowzy & light headed it did the job it was meant to. However, over the past year problems started to occur more frequently, thus stressing me out & making the cycle continue. I would up the dose but side effects worsen. Overall it takes off the edge. I give it a 7.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): I was prescribed Bentyl for vomiting and having diarrhea. I had been having severe cramping and was having sporadic severe cramping during this bout of illness. I have learned more about this medication reading the comments here that I learned reading the "literature" on it (thank you all). Based on what I have learned, this medication may be something I will want to continue in an as needed basis. It helps urgency as well as constipation (I have MS,so these are very important) gas, and even my menstrual cramping! Not a cure, but a great help!

dicyclomine: This was a miracle drug for me. The first dose stopped the diarrhea and the nausea. I would recommend it for relief from irritable bowel syndrome. I was also given Vicodin with it to help with the body aches.

dicyclomine: I'm in the military and spontaneously developed stomach cramps and black stool. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy performed and they saw nothing. For 2 years, I was prescribed Nexium which did almost nothing to help. I really thought I would just have to deal with it. Then about 2 months ago, I saw the doc again and told him I had read about irritable bowel syndrome on the internet and was wondering if I had it. He said my symptoms matched up and I asked if there was a treatment. He prescribed dicyclomine. The difference is night and day. I still stay far away from soda, beer, etc. but foods don't bother me as much anymore. I still have black stools when drinking soda, alcohol etc. but I can eat a hot dog or a hamburger now.

dicyclomine: Took my first 10 mg pill Tuesday night, ended up having diarrhea for 3 days.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): Excellent!

dicyclomine: I just started today and I do feel very sleepy but I am noticing less gas and cramps I'm happy! I hope this works.

dicyclomine: I had horrible pain for months before I was diagnosed. Twenty minutes after I took the first pill my pain disappeared! Forty minutes after I took that pill I was goofy. I became extremely loopy and that lasted about four hours. I gave a lot of hugs that night. Now I take half a dose at bedtime and that seems to be keeping the irritable bowel syndrome under control. If I take it more than once a day my throat swells up and my vision blurs. Also, my mouth is dry all the time now. UPDATE: After taking it for a couple weeks the loopiness lessened I am no longer feel drunk when I am on it BUT now when I take it I start sneezing and become VERY congested. I can only take it with an allergy pill now or this side effect is horrible.

dicyclomine: This medicine works great for my abdominal pain, but it doesn't stop it completely. I still feel nausea almost every hour of the day, but I do have a slight appetite back compared to before I0 started taking this. I can tell that it's working because I will start feeling more sick and more pain and realize it's been four hours and need to take another dose. A downfall that is almost making me want to stop taking this is that it makes me so tired I can't focus on anything, and I can barely function. My memory is horrible and it bothers me a lot when I am in the middle of doing something and forget what I was doing.

dicyclomine: I love this medication. Yes it makes me tired, but it beats going to the bathroom all day. I have little to no cramping anymore and owe it all to this. I would be the perfect poster child for this medication.

dicyclomine: I really am grateful for my doctor prescribing this for me. I personally only take one when I am having an episode (even though the bottle says something different. I don't like taking pills if I don't need too), and within a few minutes I'm feeling more relaxed. The only side effect that I seem to have is I get a little "loopy", dizzy and tired as well... but maybe the tiredness is from everything being released from my body. Not sure... I do NOT drive while the medicine is in my body because my judgement and reflexes are a bit slower then normal. When my daughter was a week old, I had an irritable bowel syndrome episode. I took a pill and then I was unable to breastfeed for 24 hours. I just pumped and dumped. Otherwise, I love this.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): 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.

dicyclomine: This medicine has literally changed my life. I went from being afraid to go out to eat because I didn't know how my body would react, to being able to eat anything I want at any time without any stomach upset. It made my mouth really dry when I first started taking it, but that went away within a week. Slight additional drowsiness on occasion. I also get drunk very quickly when drinking alcohol on this medication. Those are the only downfalls - but they're so worth it.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): 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): 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): I have irritable bowel syndrome and Bentyl seems to calm my stomach down but does make me a lillte sleepy. Taking 10mg 3 to 4 times a day.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): 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 feel 100% better since taking Bentyl. Before I had stomach cramps, gas and gas pain. This works great! Thank You

Bentyl (dicyclomine): 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.
