2 | gastroparesis | It makes me nauseous unless I take it with food. | I do not see that it is doing anything for my problem one way or the other. I will continue to take it to see if it does help after more time. If I take it without food it makes me very nauseated. I have no side effects other than that. It does not seem to be helping at all with my stomach pain and bloating. | F | 83 | 7 days 10 mg 2X day | 6/21/2017 | 1 | Celiac | Rush of reflux 8 hours after first pill. Then couldn’t breath | F | 73 | 1 days 10 | 1/19/2020 | 5 | diarrhea 3-5 times a day 8 months | i never experienced any side effects | i am still taking bentyl and in the past month, i had diarrhea once and i fear that without it i will go back to the same problem so until my doctor says i should quit the medication, i will continue to use it. | F | 72 | 3 months 10mg 2X day | 8/20/2012 | 5 | IBS | No side effects | I was diagnosed with IBS in 1991 and have been on Bentyl ever since. I take it only when I need it. Some times, I will take 4 pills daily...then months will pass when I do not need any at all. This has been a God-send for me. | F | 70 | 22 years 10 mg 1X day | 8/4/2012 | 5 | Occasional IBS - travel or stress | Possibly causing some numbness/tingling in arms and lightheadness. | Developed sudden terrible low cramps on a trip 4 years ago and intestinal system shut down for a week with continue pain. Started happening again on every trip. Doctor finally prescribed bentyl and it has been GREAT. But I only take it when I am becoming very bloated, constipated or I am on a trip. Usually I take 1 or 1/2 when I wake up in the middle of the night because it works better if you are relaxed. LOVE IT, but I use on a very limited basis. | F | 69 | 2 years | 7/15/2009 | 3 | Crohn's Disease/Abd. Pain | Blood pressure drops leaving me very weak. Definitely can't take it as prescribed. | F | 69 | 40 days 20mg 1X day | 2/25/2022 | 1 | IBS | Dry mouth, diarrhea, blurred vision, sleepy | This drug is not for me. I took only one capsule before a meal and within hours had side effects. | F | 68 | 1 days 10 mcg 1X O | 8/22/2020 | 1 | IBS and Incontenance | Blurred vision, confusion, nausea | Went to the ER my doctor sent me because I was passing a lot of urine and had pain from my belly button to my vagina, the pressure was unbearable I was given morphine and the doctor gave me a prescription for Bentyl. After taking the Bentyl for six days I started having strange dreams and felt disoriented. on the sixth day I woke up with severe nausea. I am getting off this pill and going back to my Lybrax and Lorazapam which I'm fine with. | F | 68 | 6 days 20 MG 2X day | 10/20/2013 | 5 | Stomach pain bloating gas | None | Love it! | F | 67 | 7 days 10mg 4×day | 9/22/2016 | 5 | IBS | I only take it occasionally and have noticed that sometimes I feel a little weepy but not enough to be a problem. I must take with food. I only take it when the cramps become unbearable. | I find it to be a great tool in managing my IBS. I only take it when I need it for cramps and it was never prescribed to me as something to take every day. | F | 67 | 30 years 40mgs as n | 5/15/2020 | 4 | Gerd | Mild side effects - Heart palpatations. | I take the medication as needed. I usually take it when I eat greasy or spicy foods. My wife has taken it for over 20 years and had never complained of and adverse side effects. | M | 66 | 2 years | 12/9/2009 | 3 | IBS causing extreme urgency | I have had some side effects, however, I did not know about side effects until I really started feeling bad. I asked about side effects and said, I won't get any. Duh, I was dumb, but I was having extreme urgency and accidents all of he time, I would have tried anything. Have had this most of my life, but never had accidents. So, it completely stopped my urgency, accidents and 10 movements a day. There is now consistency and normal looking stool a lot of the time. However, I get blurry vision, dizzines, coordination issues like balance, if I sit I will Llllllfall asleep, redness and blotchy, itchy skin, nausea, sometimes I get stabbing, knife like pain in the upper right sid | Side of stomach, headache and that's it. Other than those side effects, it works for sudden urgency and accidents. I will stop taking this because I did not know that all of these things were side effects, just thought I was dying of something else, My Dr. must Hfbe a jerk because I told her about these things and she sent me for MRI and many other tests. I am very sad after reading all of the comments from others. | F | 66 | 5 months 20mg | 4/18/2017 | 2 | Ulcer pain | Increased depression | 66 | 3 days 20 | 8/26/2018 | 2 | intestinal cramping | Terrible dry vagina. I went on 2 regiments of medicine for yeast infections with no relief. Finally realized it was this medicine after taking it for 3 months. It helped the intestinal pain but made my vagina so dry and uncomfortable. | F | 66 | 10 mg 3X day | 2/12/2017 | 5 | IBS | No side effects. Maybe a little weight gain. | I love this medicine. I have been on it since 1991 as needed. I have requested that they bury me with a bottle of this just in case I might need it! I have been very satisfied. | F | 65 | 16 years | 3/20/2007 | 5 | colitis | Dizziness, tired | This med really helped my pain for colitis. I take it with 2 tylenol. | F | 62 | 12 days 20mg | 3/18/2019 | 2 | ibs and urinary spasms | very spaced, inability to concentrate, difficulty urinating at times, diarrhea (which was one of the reasons I was taking it), difficulty talking, and a generally anxious mood. | I'm so spaced from this drug that I can't even understand the other comments or write my own very well, but I do agree with all the negative statements. Started at 10 mg and moved to 20. I am so frightened by this drug that I feel that I need to taper off rather than to stop abruptly, and maybe 10 mg will work for me without destroying my well-being. It was OK at the beginning. Would be interested in knowing if anyone else developed a tremendous appetite (coupled with fatigue which made it impossible to exercise). Also, I would highly recommend that everyone take seriously the warning about staying out of the heat. | F | 62 | 3 weeks 10 mg 2X day | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Severe cramping. | I had a feeling on taking the first pill that I was suffocating..Its like being held under water and can't breathe. I gasped and still felt like I was suffocating. Bad drug. | F | 62 | 1 days | 10/12/2017 | 4 | Severe flatulence due to malabsorbt | none noticeable, am on many other medications for diverticulitis, acute pancreatitis and major large & small bowel resection | stops flatulence quickly, causes some diarrhoea. I take it when needed. | M | 61 | 28 days | 1/1/2007 | 3 | Ibs with constipation and diarrhea | Constipation, weakness and fatigue and dry mouth. Brain fog . Bloating and gas. Noticed the rapid heart rate and thought it was due to something else. Have high blood pressure now as well. | Medication seem to help with the severe pain and cramps and diarrhea in the beginning but now my symptoms become constipation and thats not any better. | F | 61 | 2 years 10 3X day | 5/24/2023 |
