I was prescribed this after a miserable 7 months with what was eventually diagnosed as IBS. I had a CT scan, numerous doctors appointments, etc., for lower-left abdominal pain that would last all day, every day. It was pretty much all I thought about all day for those months. I was finally referred to a GI who prescribed this medication, and within days of taking this medication twice a day as ...

I havehad IBS for years; this is the only drug that helps the pain. However, I can't stand getting so dried out--even my voice gets hoarse! And I have constipation, so now I have to take extra fiber, because regular laxatives seem to precipitate IBS attacks. I take it only when absolutely necessary, such as when I am at work and the pain causes me to lose concentration. However, it takes at least an hour to two hours to work.

I have severe IBS. I've been on this medication for 4 years. Recently I've been taken off it and put on a probiotic, Align. STUPID! Align has done nothing to control my sypmtoms! Hyocyamine is AMAZING. I have control in my life with only the occasional (twice a month) flareup. Dry mouth only lasts awhile and is soooooooo worth it. Physiologically this med is the smart choice. It's an anticholernic/antiSPASMODIC. Align gives you more good enzymes in your intestines which is all well and good but does nothing for the intestional nerves/brain issue. Instead of being collapsed on the floor twisting in pain, I can go about life comfortably. I highly recommed Hyocyamine!Read More Read Less

Takes 30 min. to two hours to get relief from the pain. Takes longer for intestines to calm and stop moving and twisting.

It has reduced the pain of IBS. I still have daily attacks but now the pain is reduced and shortened. I appreciate what it has done for my condition.

Works great for me. Dry mouth for a little while, but that only last for about an hour. I can go out with friends now and not have to worry about finding a bathroom every few minutes after eating.

After having a colonoscopy my system could not adjust to a regular diet. This drug helped calm by lower GI tract until the healthy flora came back into my digestive system. Only took one week with the help of this drug, sub for Nulev .125 mg.

This medication works for me. I was told by our pharmacy that the drug is discontinued and there is nothing to replace it. What is going on?

Had IBS for 10 years or more. Doctors did not help at all!! Finally, internist listened to me and gave me this drug. Immediate relief and have been symptom free for more than 2 months! Now my pharmacist tells me it has been taken off the market. Why?
