| 1 | Stomach pain | Dizziness Vertigo Disorientation Brain fog Muscle weakness Vision issues Floaters Muscle coordination issues | I do not recommend this medication it affects your nervous system and can cause serious long lasting side effects | M | 27 | 1 days 10MG 1X day | 6/5/2023 | 1 | IBS | I was given this medicine in the hospital. Came home and took another one and slept 4 hours. Decided to take another one right before dinner. 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 10 1X day | 6/3/2023 | 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 10 mg 2X day | 12/21/2022 | 1 | Abdomen pain | Confusion, numbness in arms, neck and face, shortness of breath, disorientation, anxiety, dry mouth | This medicine is awful. I took it at 1 pm yesterday and am still numb at 6:22 am the next day. Stopped taking immediately. Can't wait for it to be out of my system. | F | 29 | 2 days 10 4X day | 9/9/2022 | 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 20 2X day | 5/4/2022 | 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 4X day | 4/30/2022 | 1 | Ibs D and servers cramping | Stomach cramps, diarrhea, dry mouth, tiredness, drowsy, sweating, vomiting | Took it for iBs cramps, but instead of helping i now have terrible cramps and BM with cold sweat and nauceasness | F | 35 | 2 days 20MG 4X AN | 4/7/2021 | 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 20 mg 1X day | 2/16/2021 | 1 | Ibs d&C | Blurry vision, itchy with hives, dizzy and terrible bloating, gas and constipation | F | 40 | 3 days 10 mg 4x d 4X day | 9/14/2020 | 1 | IBS | Dry mouth, diarrhea, blurred vision, sleepy | This drug is not for me.

I gasped and still felt like I was suffocating. Bad drug. | F | 62 | 1 days | 10/12/2017 | 1 | Severe stomach cramps | I just recently realized that this drug has been making me ill. I have been going to the doctor for dizziness, feeling faint, heart flutters, feeling weak, numbness, tingles, headaches shortness of breath and anxiety. This drug has relieved my stomach pain for so long and it works pretty fast. I am disappointed to find out that I can no longer take it. I have also discovered some other health issues such as calcified nodules on my thyroid, lung and shoulder. I wonder if this is the cause as well as I have never had these issues. I will never take this drug again. | F | 51 | 3 years 10mg 1X AN | 5/21/2017 | 1 | Ibs | Head ache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea.
