dicyclomine: Dicyclomine was ordered by my doctor to treat my irritable bowel syndrome. I have found it to work very well for that purpose. I would get terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea after eating sometimes it would start before i would even finish my food. If I take this drug about a half hour before I eat, I have close to no symptoms. The only thing is that I wish it was given to me sooner, it would have saved me quite a bit of suffering.

dicyclomine: Bentyl is a lifesaver. As soon as I have a IBS spell coming on I take my Bentyl and within 15 to 20 minutes I can feel the relief from my symptoms. Its great. I don't like taking pills everyday unless needed and this pill does the trick. I have been using Bentyl for about 7 years now and have had no side effects from it.

Bentyl (dicyclomine): 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.

dicyclomine: I had pancreatitis 2 years ago, then ended up with IBS. Doctor prescribed this to me. It really worked on the cramps and gas. The only thing I didn't like is it made me feel weird, a little fuzzy headed and made me sleepy.

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.

dicyclomine: I was having horrible debilitating stomach cramps on and off for about 3 months. I went to the doctor and he gave me dicyclomine and told me to take one every 4 hours the next time I had cramps. I took a total of two capsules, and the cramps went away forever. Great stuff.

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

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 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): 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'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!

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.

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: 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.

Review by Anonymous:

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.
