For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I originally was prescribed this for a "nervous stomach" due to diarrhea from severe anxiety. It works to control my bowels and stop the cramps. I have been on and off the meds for about 10 years, using it to help with flares- it is now known I have IBS. If I take it more than 3 days-3 times a day as prescribed, I have severe constipation. I use it as needed, taking a single dose every day, and more if I have a flare, stopping for a few days only if I have harder stools."

For Urinary Incontinence "I take 5 or 10 mg for nighttime incontinence that started after menopause. It helps with daytime, too. It makes me a bit drowsy at night and dry mouth. I got off it for about two months, and the incontinence returned with pelvic floor pain. After 2 days back on this, it was better."

"Had gallbladder taken out in 2008 then the diarrhea started. It would come and go. I started staying at home because I never knew when it would happen as there was never any warning. It gets old wearing depends when I leave the house. Then I had a pancreatic attack spent two days in hospital. Finally got in to see gastro doctor. Anyway we talked about the attack and I went on to tell her about the years of diarrhea. She put me on hyoscyamine 0.375. I am so encourage by reading about what ya'll are saying about this drug. I sure hope it works and I can get back to a normal life after all these years (another option is cholestyramine for diarrhea after gall bladder removal)"

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "In my case for IBS, a low dosage made me cough. If I take below 10mg my throat closes. I treat my IBS without this pill, also the Auxilio Mutuo Hospital in PR found that the pill contains an ingredient that is on Xanax, so they block the pill. Cause I don't know what ingredient closes my throat, I don't take it."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have experienced bowel problems since my teens and was finally prescribed Donnatal and I had great success. As I got older, my symptoms subsided to the point that I no longer needed to take any medication. Occasionally, I would have minor flare-ups but they would always subside. I am now in my 70s and have begun to experience IBS symptoms again. After researching for an alternative to Donnatal, which is outrageously expensive, I learned of Levsin. I asked my doctor to prescribe it and I am very pleased with the results. The only negative about taking this medication is that I must take 4 tablets each day, but I have not had any adverse side effects to this point. Levsin is well worth the results for me and my hope is that it will continue to give me positive results."

For Crohn's Disease "I have been on hyoscyamine 0.125 mg for a year actually for ulcerative colitis, it works very well for my cramps and spasm. My insurance do not want to cover it anymore. They finally give me the generic form witch is the same name . I took one it give me terrible pain in the left side of my head moving down the back of my ears. I stop using it can't deal with the pain it also send up my blood pressure."

"Surprised not to see any reviews mentioning gastroparesis or dysmotility. It's counter-intuitive, but if you have severe GI cramping, this can actually help. And at least in my case, it doesn't adversely affect my motility because I already had surgery to place my feeding tubes, and that gives me the ability to bypass the area where I have reverse motility and put nutrition and meds directly where I need them (jejunum). In the rare disease/complex patient community, this application of hyoscyamine (Levsin) is quite common (likewise Bentyl), so I'm a little disappointed gastroparesis wasn't included in the off-label uses here."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "This medication has markedly helped me with two conditions: IBS-D It controls (stops) diarrhea. However, it also slows down everything in the gut and the kidney. I was also prescribed this for abnormal, excessive throat mucus. Not simply the occasional mucus we all have, but a constant abnormal amount. For this, I only take when needed, and the lowest effective dosage 0.125 It works wonders for both conditions---at least for me. I have taken it for 3 years."
