"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 kidneys. 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 it 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."

"In my case for IBS, a low dosage made me cough. If I take below 10 mg, 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 in Xanax, so they block the pill. Because I don't know what ingredient closes my throat, I don't take it."

Hyoscyamine "A sublingual 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 "I have used Levsin SL for years to stop abdominal cramping from IBS. It is always effective. I don't leave my home without it since IBS attacks are sudden and give no warning until the pain starts."

Hyoscyamine "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."

"Was on this for a long time, then had it under control, so I stopped (huge mistake). Insurance will not cover it, and Bentyl doesn't work as well. Since I need this for my IBS-D."

"This hyoscyamine hasn't done a thing to help with abdominal pain and cramping for me. I still had abdominal pain and cramping anyway even though I had been taking this medication to help with that."
