| 5 | for addiction | i think it is not good for heavy dose | take this in little dose heavy dose fucu very bad | 23 | 1 days 60 | 7/18/2015 | 2 | Ulcer pain | Increased depression | 66 | 3 days 20 | 8/26/2018 | 1 | IBS | Where do I begin... | The drug did what it was supposed to do in that my digestive habits got much better while on it. I was and still am on Levsin, which is hard to find nowadays. I would take Bentyl in the evening and wake up remembering nothing. I'm a pastor, so I have to remember a lot of personal information, and I'd forget that somebody's family member died, which is a quick way to be shown the door. I felt shaky. I took it, eventually got past the drunk feeling every time I took it, but when I ran out and had to start again, it all came back. I felt like I was losing my mind and my wife, my friends, and my church caught on to the fact that I was never remembering anything. It was the Bentyl. Be very, very careful with this stuff. | 29 | 3 months | 11/26/2008 | 5 | IBS and post-water contam. issues | 'disconnectedness', dry mouth, bad breath (due to dry mouth), weight loss due to decreased appetite, slight tiredness | this drug has really made a difference to me -- I can feel safe to eat out again and I have never had a severe attack like before since I've used it. I use it as needed. If I am going to eat something that is suspicious or if I feel cramps coming on, I take it. Works like a charm! | F | 35 | 4 months | 11/21/2007 | 5 | IBS & spastic colon | None | LOVE IT!! Have had severe IBS attacks for 7 years and dr's did not do anything until I found the right dr. When I finally found Bentyl, I can go out to eat without looking at the menu and wondering what I can and can not have based on what my belly feels like that day. I can actually look at the menu for what I want to eat! I take before each meal and it takes care of me. It's my buddy and goes everywhere with me. A LIFESAVER!! | F | 32 | 2 months | 3/12/2009 | 5 | gut spasm hirschsprungs disease | dry mouth reduced visual accommodation severe absent mindedness more quick tempered than usual | the only thing i've found outside a hospital that helps - been on it for twenty years and they would have been 20 years of agony without it | F | 56 | | 10/5/2006 | 5 | Stomach pains, diarrea | Made me a little sleepy | Bentyl is the best medicine for stomach pains and diarrea, i take it regularly when i have these symptoms | F | 22 | 3 months | 6/7/2005 | 5 | C-Diff cramping | dry mouth, dialated pupils/blurry vision | Was given oral form during recurring C Diff treatment. Took the edge off of horrible cramping. HIGHLY recommend this med to anyone going thru C Diff/IBS if doc says ok. Side effects as you know are the least of your worries during THOSE cramps. | F | 44 | 10 days | 11/18/2007 | 5 | spastic colon | lightheadedness, "drunk" feeling | bentyl has made my life bearable -- no more sick-to-my-stomach feeling after eating, no more horrible cramps. the side effects are nothing compared to what it's done for me. | F | 47 | 16 years | 3/23/2008 | 5 | IBS | If I take it before bed, it makes me a bit sleepy, but I have also taken it during the day and felt fine. It doesn't knock you out. | This has been the best drug for me as far as IBS. It does not always work, but I would say 9 times out of 10 it does. If I take it before bed, it induces sleep but I have also taken it during the day and felt fine. | F | 55 | 1 years | 8/25/2008 | 5 | IBS | none | I've been taking this occasionally for about 3 years. It helps EXTREMELY well when my nerves play havoc with my bowels. It calms it down right away. It doesn't work for immediate problems, but I just take it as needed, maybe once a week or so. | F | 42 | 3 years | 8/28/2008 | 5 | Sweating | Dry mouth | I have been taking this medication for hyperhidrosis, and I immediately saw an improvement in how much I perspirate. I am no longer anxious or embarrassed that I will sweat through my clothing or look like I stepped out of the shower in public. | F | 28 | 1 weeks | 6/25/2009 | 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 | 5 | Crohns and IBS | After literally wanting to tear open my skin and rip out where the pain is, Bentyl has been a blessing. I had been weak and in bed for a month, unable to even eat or walk more than 10 feet. I experience drowsiness and cotton mouth first day but I was able to get out of bed on the second day. | Everyone is different and their bodies react different but I would recommend it all day to anyone. | F | 44 | 4 days 10 mg | 9/8/2015 | 5 | Severe IBS | Dry mouth is really the only side effect that I have to deal with. It does make you feel a little euphoric, but not "high". After dealing with such severe digestive problems I have no problem with a medicine that calms my bowels and makes me feel a little happy, | This medicine has saved me from complete and utter agony. | F | 4 months 20 mg 4X day | 9/15/2015 | 5 | Moderate ibs | Foggy, drowsy/drunk feeling. Dry mouth and appetite decrease. | A miracle for me! Helps so good with my IBS pain. I can actually eat and not be in pain. | F | 22 | 3 weeks 40 mg | 10/7/2015 | 5 | Chron's | None. Some euphoria but it was okay because it knocked me out as well a Benzo, Not a problem at all if I can lie down a bit to rest. That tiredness was at problem resolved after a couple weeks. | This med gave me my life back. Since I was 8 I would double up in pain crying. I had bleeding ulcers from the stress of severe emotional trauma as a child. Later DX with Chron's. I hope I'm able to have access to thid | F | 44 | 4 years 10mg 2X day | 6/15/2014 | 5 | I had terrible pain in my abdomen | Had terrible pain for almost 3 years in my abdomen after I had a bowel movement. Bentyl is the medicine that has helped me. I take B&O suppositories for pain as well | F | 59 | 1 months 10 4X day | 10/15/2015 | 5 | I b s and diverticulitis | Relaxed | Helps so much | F | 48 | 2 days 10mg | 11/29/2015 | 5 | Chronic radiation enteritis | Bentyl has been a life saver for me! I developed Chronic Radiation Enteritis 2 1/2 years after radiation to the small bowel & chemotherapy. I would have episodes of absolutely to worst pain i have ever felt. My episodes started w severe upper abdominal pain, then went to 12 hours of vomiting, nausea, diarrhea. I would sleep on the bathroom floor, alternating from so hot that i had to take all of my clothes off, to freezing. My doc told me to take this drug the minute i felt like it was coming on & then don't eat or drink anything until it is gone. This drug is awesome! It has saved me from at least 2 episodes & significantly lessened another. I don't have any high feeling that some say they experience. I do have dry mouth but i just drink more water. I will take that any day over throwing up all night! I don't leave home without it. | F | 49 | 4 weeks | 4/17/2016 |
