User Reviews for Dicyclomine (Bentyl)

it helps calm my stomach cramps so that i can rest

so far so good i had taken hyoscamine for a long time but my insurance quit paying for it, i only take this 30 min before i eat the largest meal of the day,instead of four times a day, it is helping my I.B,S,after reading some of your feedback it gave me some worry,i never take some meds exactly like the doctor says remember they are practicing medicine on you..and some people do not fit the clinical trials the doctor studied in school, of course you can not do that with some meds such as heart meds,blood thinners or diabetis medication,but with some meds that are not life or death situations a person can figure out how often they can take some meds,my doctor has me on xanex and his directions were 6 times a day, if i took it that way i could not drive or even get out of bed,so after reading some of these stories this is a drug i don't think i want in my blood stream at a constant leval..Read More Read Less

After having diarrhea for 5 weeks, the medication was given until a colonscopy could be scheduled. I took one pill before supper, having even more cramping and diarrhea, but the pill I took at bed time was frightening! I started coughing, struggling to breathe, and had a frightening night. Not a good reaction!

I had no relef of my symptoms with the drug

My son took this medicine for 2 1/2 days. His eyes dialated, his heart rate elevated, his blood pressure dropped dangerously, and he passed out while driving his car and crashed into a power pole!

I have been reading the reviews for this medicine and I seem to be the only person who has had adverse effects of this medication. I tried twice to take this medicine and it has given me nausea and colon spasms which is what this medicine is suppose to control. It made me dizzy, weak and nausiated. I am going to talk to my doctor to see if this is normal.

This has worked great for my IBS. I have had absolutely no side effects. It has eliminated my nasaua and constant intestinal spasms(gurgling).

I have been taking it off and on for about 5 years. I feel spacey but anything is better than the cramping and pain and not being able to eat without fear of running to the bathroom.

I have had no problems with this med at all, the only thing I've noticed is a little bit of dry mouth.Pop in some gum or a mint and I'm good to go...

it makes me feel funny like wuzy

Sometimes I've had to beg my doctor to prescribe this for me, because he's concerned about some possible side effects from this med. I deal with feeling weak and tired (sometimes) when taking Dicyclomine, but nothing else stops the pain and the irregularity.

after using Hyoscyamine for four years, i was switched to this, I have had nothing but trouble including nausea and mood swings. Somewhat effective but side effects are terrible...

I've been using this for about 2 years now with no side effects at all. This drug had made my life much more normal.

As my body gets used to the medication it doesnt seem to work as well. Im still in a lot of pain.

This medication is the only thing that stopped the intestinal cramping and constant going. I had to plan around toilets and missed many days of work prior to taking this.

Just stated taking within the last 3 weeks to help with constant constipation and cramping, previously was on Zelnorm(which has been taken off the market)which was the only drug in the past that had helped. So far Dicyclomine has been the answer.

seizures

it still comes and goes but the lose stools are less often than before i started taking it
