User Reviews for Hyoscyamine

Levsin (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've had good experience with this pill so far. I've been taking it almost a year & if I know I'm going to eat something that might trigger an attack, I take it a few minutes before I eat & 9 out of 10 times, I do fine. This is coming from someone that was scared to eat anywhere away from home because my attacks would get so bad. I went to the ER a number of times because I couldn't bare the pain. This has been a miracle pill for me.

Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: If you have irritable bowel syndrome then you know how it can seem to pop up at any time. This is a sub-lingual medication. As such, it works very quickly to stop spasms in the colon. As my physician explains it: it slows down the action of the colon. Antidiarrheals will completely stop the action of the colon. You don't want to stop the action of the colon.

Levsin (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I switched from Bentyl to this because this is an extended release formula. I tried it for 5 months and went back to Bentyl. It didn't work any better and it dried me out so much I could hardly swallow. After a bad flare up, I ended up at the ER and they thought I was very dehydrated but I wasn't, it was just the medicine. I am going to talk with my GP about using something with phenobarbital as I have heard a lot of positive things about it. I already take a migraine medicine with phenobarbital, so I should tolerate it well.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've had problems for so long I've been bounced around from doctor to doctor and they all told me I was making it up that I didn't really have all these bowel problems. My pediatrician told me and my mom I was faking to get attention. I've had 4 colonoscopies and an endoscopy in 2 years. Since this medicine I have never felt better. I still have a lot of issues but this medication is the best thing I have found and the relief is astonishing.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: At first, my stomach was sensitive to certain foods, as time went on it was everything I ate. The gas, aching, pains, making weird noises, running to the bathroom. I had tried many over the counter and prescription medicines, NOTHING worked. Finally, I switched doctors and he suggested this medication. I take it everyday, twice a day and it literally changed my life. I would suggest this medication to anyone with irritable bowel syndrome.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: My irritable bowel syndrome started up the beginning of 2011. The first time I had it was when I was in school, first hour. I thought it was menstrual cramps, so I just waited for it to go away. When it didn't, I asked the teacher to go to the restroom. When I got back it was still sore, and I ended up in tears from the pains, and my friend had to take me to the nurse. Mom didn't know what it was, so we waited a few (agonizing) months, and when it didn't go away, mom took me to the hospital and got some blood work done. I was prescribed hyoscyamine, and it works great! I've been taking it about a year now, and I've rarely been having IBS problems. Whenever I forget to take it, though, the IBS comes back like a shovel. This medicine certainly works.

Levsin (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: These antispasmodics did nothing for me. I was still doubled over in pain hours later. I also was very light-headed and dizzy and my physician ignored my reactions to the medicines. Not a good experience.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Before I began taking this medication I had gotten to the point where I couldn't eat anything without getting sick and just the thought of driving more than 10 minutes, or even taking a route without a convenient bathroom stop caused debilitating anxiety (which made symptoms worse!). Since taking it, I can travel and eat normally again. Dairy and alcohol still upset my stomach, but other than that I am living a normal life. Some days I still get sick, usually around my "cycle" but the improvements from before the medication are astronomical. Especially since side effects have been minimal-- only major one is headaches if I don't keep my fluid intake up.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: This medicine proved very effective for controlling my irritable bowel syndrome. However, at 0.0375 mg I found it rather sedating. So, I split the tablets and it still controlled my symptoms. It also helps with the stress incontinence I have as a result of prostate surgery, Overall, it was a miracle for me.

HyoMax SR (hyoscyamine) for Crohn's Disease: Some of the stomach pain went away but this medicine gave me blurred vision.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I am 18 years old, in college and after 6 months of figuring out what I had and many medications nothing worked until Hyoscyamine. I take 1 when I get pain and it helps within 5 minutes. If you have a chance to get it ...do it. So worth it.

HyoMax (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I found this medicine to be very helpful in controlling the bowel spasms that go with the Irritable bowel syndrome. It is a sublingual delivery and works within 15 minutes. It dissolves completely and can be taken even when recent esophageal surgery has occurred. I have been using this medicine for a number of years as needed, and have been very satisfied with its results.

Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) for Urinary Incontinence: Brand name: had no side effects and had 100% effectiveness on bladder control.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: When my symptoms first began (about 7 years ago) I suffered through a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, tests for parasites through two different "specialists". The results were that they couldn't find anything wrong, so I must have IBD. I was told there was nothing I could do but "learn to live with it". I found that it took 13 Imodium at one time to stop an "episode". Returned to the MD and begged him to prescribe something / anything to help - Hyoscyamine Sulfate! It works! I take two when the problem starts and within about a half hour it has stopped. I recommended it without hesitation! The only problem is that my insurance won't cover it and I just had to pay $150 for 180 tablets.

HyoMax SL (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've been taking this medicine for almost two years (took hyoscyamine for several years before that) and it really makes a big difference with my irritable bowel syndrome. I really only need to take two pills each morning and that gets me through my day. If my family eats out at a restaurant, I take two pills before leaving home. I do experience a bit of dry mouth and my eyes also get dried out (not the best side effect, but not the worst, either!). Overall, I highly recommend this medicine for those who suffer from IBS.

Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: This medication is the best I have found out there they need to have the FDA approve it. I have tried everything nothing worked, this does. I love it. I can actually get some peace now.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: After undergoing numerous tests with no definative diagnostic answers and under the threat of another CT scan followed by another Colonoscopy, my physician suggested trying Hyoscyamine Sulfate - an anti spasmodic. I picked up the perscription, took one of the very small tablets and LITERALLY within 15 minutes the spasm's ended and the pain subsided. WHY didn't someone try this therapy when I first had symptoms 30 years ago??? Within the past week, I've had only 2 spasmodic episodes each curtailed within 15 minutes after downing a single tablet. The only other medication that I've experienced work this effectively and fast for anything has been tumms for heartburn. Bravo - finally a working solution. No side effects noticed after 3 doses.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Doesn't seem to do much for chronic diarrhea and/or upset stomach/IBS symptoms.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Getting the real deal of Hyoscyamine is made extremely difficult. The Ancient Greeks had Hyoscyamine but pharmacies want to push the various alloys and synthetics. I don't want HyoMax or Levsin or Hyoscyamine Sulfate. They give you what they think is selling at the time. Hyoscyamine works, if you can get the real deal.

Hyosyne (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've had IBS for about 6 years now and this medication works, its somewhat less intense than other meds for IBS but it does the job. Give it a shot its worth it.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: This medication has greatly improved my quality of life. Had many failed therapies. Now life is not 100%; however, it is in the 90s. I am grateful for this medication. Another issue: I take 2, twice a day. Cigna changed their prices from 50 copay each 90 day supply to 100 copay. Nevertheless, this medication is excellent.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've been using this medication for almost 5 years. I can't believe that this isn't prescribed more often than it is because it WORKS! I had such pain with the spasms and mucus till I started using this. I do have to drink a lot more water because it makes me thirsty and it can complicate constipation. However, my doctor allows me to take it on the onset of an episode instead of 3 or 4 times a day. I've been able to gain weight and my energy has increased since using this medication. I really am happy with this medication and feel it has allowed me to live a much more normal life, almost pain free. Of course, I've changed my diet and stay away from triggers too! Good luck and I hope you have the results I've had.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: My guts have not felt this at ease in a few years. I had relief in 24 hours.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I recently took this drug for 5 days and had complete relief from my irritable bowel syndrome. However, that said, the side effects were horrible. I was the "Poster child" for adverse reactions ...arrhythmia, constipation, hallucinations. My brain felt like it was in slow motion while, my body was moving at a rapid pace. I saw my Doctor who explained to me that this each individual is different. I gave it a 5 because it did help my bowels feel fantastic.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: When I first began having real problems with irritable bowel syndrome, I tried Vicadin. I didn't know what was wrong with me. My doctor prescribed hyoscyamine and it worked so well. Hyoscyamine has been the only medication which has helped with my IBS. Changes in what I eat has helped, too. Stress reduction also helps...walking, better sleep. I highly recommend this medication. It is an anti-spasmodic.
