Levsin (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A sub-lingual dose of Levsin for IBS will begin working within 15 minutes, offering almost immediate relief of pain and discomfort. I highly recommend it if a doctor has prescribed it.

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.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Between this medication and some severe diet changes, I have been able to get my IBS under control. It's not perfect, but it has greatly improved life for sure.

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: 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: 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

hyoscyamine for Urinary Incontinence: I have found this to be better than ditropan and detrol. I can take it twice a day. It doesn't seem to give me the dry mouth that ditropan did.

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

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.

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.

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.
