Constipation, so I lower the dose if necessary. | I used to wake up every morning with extremely painful cramps. Now, taking one or 2 of these in the middle of the night prevents the extremely painful cramps that I had every day when I woke up in the morning. It is a miracle drug. This drug is both preventative, and effective during an attack. Thank you whoever invented it!!!! No more fear about what will happen in the morning when I wake up!!!!!! | F | 60 | 6 weeks as needed | 7/23/2015 | 3 | IBS | Dry Mouth, Dizziness, Dehydration, Hot Flashes, Fatigue. | F | 21 | 4 years 20 | 3/1/2013 | 1 | IBS | I had the worst pain one could ever imagine. I take Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia. After 3 days had to quit it or would have lived at the ER for pain management. Took two days to get it out of my system. The drug may be ok for someone not on Cymbalta by my experience was horrible. | F | 3 days 10mg 1X day | 5/6/2012 | 5 | Stomach cramps due to gasses | Sometimes a little sleepe. | I take this medicine because I have a slow digestive process. For that reason I suffer from stomach cramps due to high level of gasses. This medicine work really fast on me. I love it.

I only take it when nothing else is working though since it makes me so foggy. | F | 29 | 2 months | 7/8/2008 | 5 | Gastritis | Intense Graphic Nightmares (I could beat Stephen King if I wrote this stuff down), Drowsiness. With all that said this drug if the only drug that works for me. The PPI and H2 blocker drugs did absolutely nothing but aggrevate my stomach and made things only 1000% worse. This Dicyclomine on the other hand is akin to a magical pill for me and probably saved my life! I couldn't eat for months if it wasn't for this drug! God bless the creators!!!!! | M | 32 | 1 months | 12/19/2007 | 5 | IBS | None that aren't highly manageable. | I take as needed. Always have one with me.

DICYCLOMINE HCL (DICYCLOMINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Dicyclomine is used to treat a certain type of intestinal problem called irritable bowel syndrome. It helps to reduce the symptoms of stomach and intestinal cramping. This medication works by slowing the natural movements of the gut and by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Dicyclomine belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics/antispasmodics. This medication must not be used in children younger than 6 months old because of the risk of serious side effects. FDA Approval Date: 1996-10-01 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
