| 5 | IBS | I haven't noticed any, but I don't read the side effects of my meds until I have trouble with it. The people who read the side affects first seem to suffer more of them. | I am very greatful for this med. Before I had this I spent up to 4 hours rolling around the bathroom floor because of the sweating, cramps, and you know whats. | F | 48 | 20 mg 2X W | 8/27/2010 | 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 | 4 | ibs | F | | 9/22/2004 | 2 | IBS | Severe blurred vision, tingling in legs and hands, severe dry mouth and eyes, Panic attack, slurred speech. These side effects are way too close to stroke side effects. | Whatever the drug did to control my IBS was NOT worth it. I felt drunk, then hung over. The side effects are VERY scary...Never again for me! | F | 30 | | 2/16/2009 | 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 | 1 | spasms | Panic attack, heart beating twice as fast, dizzy, nausea... will never take it again. | M | 36 | | 6/23/2005 | 3 | Esophageal spasms caused by GERD | If I take this during the day I usually have to warn people I speak to because I can't find my words and am a little "slow" also impossible to read anything. 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 20mg 1X AN | 12/3/2020 | 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 perscription | Side effects are as ppl say.. | I want to comment that this drug has been perscribed "to my knowlage" since the 70s-- I was surprised by the medical world that this drug still exists in 2016/ is that how far medicine has come in 45 yrs?? Pathetic don't let ur doc give u something like this, research ur drugs! My aunt that used to take this ended up with serious psycosematic issues, and bad ocd | F | 45 | 0 days 20mg 3X day | 5/7/2016 | 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 | 5 | abdominal and stomach cramps | M | 40 | 1 days 20 1X day | 5/3/2010 | 4 | Ibs | Very dry mouth. Relaxed but drowsy feeling.. Aniexty suffers may not like the "high" | F | 27 | 1 days 10 | 10/2/2015 | 4 | Ibs | Very dry mouth. Relaxed but drowsy feeling.. Aniexty suffers may not like the "high" | F | 27 | 1 days 10 | 10/2/2015 | 2 | abdominal discomfort | I think it helped my stomach, but it made me feel crazy!!Been suffering with some kind of stomach stuff since November on and off. I was hoping this was going to help but oh well I can't stand feeling crazy in my head | M | 43 | 1 days 20mg | 2/19/2015 | 2 | ibs | headache, shortness of breath, insomnia | I've had IBS-A for over two years now. Recently I came down with more severe cramps; for 8 months I was c-dominant lately it has been alternate d & c in the same morning, very confusing. I read about Bentyl on this and other sites and knew it was a "crap shoot". It did relieve cramp some but the side effects weren't worth the result. At least the Rx was cheap w/ insurance; I doubt if I'll try it again. | M | 56 | 1 days | 9/23/2008 | 2 | Ibs | Weak....palpitations,.dizzy, dry mouth | Took 1. 20mg pill never again | M | 35 | 1 days 20mg 4X day | 7/3/2020 | 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 | Celiac | Rush of reflux 8 hours after first pill. Then couldn’t breath | F | 73 | 1 days 10 | 1/19/2020 | 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 | Ibs | Head ache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea. Took one of these for it was suppose to help with IBS but I went from a day of feeling great one of awefull. I got light headed within an hour with nausea and mild diarrhea. Then about 12 hours later full blown diarrhea causing dehydration and extremely light headed. Will never take another one. My IBS usually occurs after lunch and I would prefer to deal with that than the three days of feeling like crap | M | 58 | 1 days 20mg 1X day | 5/12/2017 |
