For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I was prescribed this drug in sublingual tablet form to treat my horrible and frequent episodes of diarrhea (1-2 times a day). Anytime I feel that horrible pain and urge feeling, I take one of these tablets and the feeling is gone instantly. I get very sad when thinking about all of the years I missed out on not having this drug, but am thankful to have it now. Only side effect I've noticed is very slight dizziness and a faster heart rate. Also, the sublingual tabs will break up into a powder if you don't keep them upright and not bouncing around."

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."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I took hyoscyamine for 2 days. It didn't calm my spastic colon or take away the bloat. What it did was make me feel dizzy, almost in a hallucinating state. My heart was racing, my leg was twitching, and the spasms got worse. Oh, and constipation? I still can't poop. That drug slows your bowels and your salivary glands. I must say the worst side effect I got from this was ending up in the emergency room because my salivary glands swelled and hurt to touch. It's scary when a drug that is supposed to help causes serious side effects. I'd rather deal with the pain than end up looking like Shrek again."
