I have horrible anxiety 20 minutes later with heart palpitations. I was crawling out of my own skin for a whole week after taking this medicine. I wouldn't recommend it ever. F 40 1 days

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.

 1  Intestinal spasms I only got two doses of 10 mg each in me before I started to feel tingly from my scalp to the roof of my mouth to my hands and feet. I felt like I had ants crawling all over me. The second pill I took was at 6 PM, by 4 AM I was awakened by horrible left sided abdominal cramps, cold sweats, palpitations, and nearly felt faint. I had explosive, very soft stool and lots of it so I can't imagine that anything got absorbed from my previous food and fluid intake, which causes me great concern because one of the problems I'm having is rapid weight loss. it is now 18 hours later that I am writing this and I am still tingling and I feel like I have a knot at the base of my esophagus and I feel short of breath whenever I get up. I also am very lightheaded. F 59 1 days

 1  IBS cramping I took one before bed and felt better in the morning. I decided to take another with breakfast and one at lunch since it says 4x a day. Whoever decided this is crazy! Now my heart rate has been super low and I feel like I can't breathe. Also seem to be urinating less. I'm stopping this drug immediately M 32 1 days

 1  Suspected stomach ulcers Went into ER about 2 weeks ago thinking I had enflamed gallbladder, had all the tests & CT done- everything looked great! Was "diagnosed" with suspected stomach ulcers and told to follow up with GI. To hold me over, doctor prescribed 3 did 6, this bring one of them. After being unable to sleep last night, I took 1 pill (this was probably my 3rd time taking it) and HOLY heart palpitations! I wish I had seen this warning: "Dicyclomine may cause a rapid or abnormal heart rate. The risk of this side effect is increased if you already have an abnormal or rapid heart rate, congestive heart failure, or history of heart attack or uncontrolled blood pressure." I have a history of benign heart palpitations and this caused high heart rate, palpitations & when that calmed down I was left with painful heart rhythm the rest of the day. It was awful...never again! F 31 0 days

 5  IBS mostly D Subtle calming sensation, a little dry mouth but that went away. I get strong spasms which seize up my colon (left side) for a long time and hurt. I would get chills and shakes. Ended up in ER a few times, had colonoscopies, biopsies, CT and a myriad of tests, which revealed nothing. Still don't know why it happens, but Bentyl reliably releases the cramps within 20-30 minutes. I developed agoraphobia from IBS and that seems to be going away esp since I started taking it multiple times/day (pre-emptively and as needed). No major side effects. I also take 10 mg Amitriptylene for pain and to help slow things down. Also a little psyllium. Was on daily Imodium but have been able to stop that unless it's a very bad D flareup. But they are happening less and less (fingers crossed). Hoping I can start working again now. Finally. Highly recommend! I use 10-20 mg at a time. M 56 4 years

 1  IBS Makes me disoriented, useless, makes you feel down and out of touch from reality. Almost 100% useless, makes me feel my IBS through my whole body. I believe i will never take it again as long as I lived. I was diagnosed with IBS since 2006, Used Bentyl multiple times. Did not work for me ..then I managed by IBS through the last 13 years..and now I am back at it. Thought of trying it again maybe it would Be different. Does not work believe me I have had a long experience with IBS ..this stuff is useless Just have pure ginger (no additives)..boil it with water and sip it hot it will relieve and alleviate your symptoms ..try a bit of pure honey with it as ginger can have a strong taste , watch what you eat and excercise God willing it will help M 35 1 months

Sometimes makes me feel a little loopy. I frequently take it before bed but have tried to stop as I am very tired and hungover from it the next day. F 41 0 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
