 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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
