Please update us as to how this works out for you.Can you take dicyclomine on a regular basis?I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and got put on dicyclomine and another appointment was rescheduled for this Wednesday to do blood work to test for various things including vitamin D deficiency and food allergies. I am so relieved and happy because my symptoms have, so far, completely disappeared on dicyclomine. I hope it continues to work because this is great!![]()
Yes, in fact that is the way you are supposed to take it. The dosage I'm on right now is to take one 20mg tablet 3 times a day. It's amazing because my stomach used to gurgle all the time, even when I wasn't having problems right at that moment, but since I've been taking dicyclomine my stomach has been virtually silent. On the occasions when it actually does rumble and gurgle a bit it is just gas, which is a refreshing change from how things used to be.
Ah I think I know what kind of drug you use now. I myself got prescribed Hyoscyamin which seem to be pretty much the same thing. Didn't work for me but I only took very small dosage so depending on how my experiment with calcium turn out I may give it another shot with bigger dosage.I'm glad it worked for you.
Many of us have to supplement with imodium no matter what else we are taking.. even Lotronex! So I wouldn't worry about having to use imodium once in awhile as opposed to having to start an anti-anxiety med. Imodium is over the counter and safe. An rx for an anti-anxiety is usually time limited and many folks find the side effects hard to deal with. But ask your Dr about using either or both at your appointment on Wed. Also you can always try self relaxation techniques for a bit to help ease any anxiety you are feeling. Keep us posted.
