Levsin (hyoscyamine) "A sublingual dose of Levsin for IBS will begin working within 15 minutes, offering almost immediate relief of pain and discomfort. I highly recommend it if a doctor has prescribed it."

Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) "I have used Levsin SL for years to stop abdominal cramping from IBS. It is always effective. I don't leave my home without it since IBS attacks are sudden and give no warming until the pain starts."

"Was on this for a long time then had it under control so I stopped (huge mistake). Insurance will not cover it and Bentyl doesn't work as well. Since I need this for my IBS-D."

"Taking this for intestinal spasms. It sure has cured the problem so far. The only complaint that I have is that I ache all over. I guess this might be a side effect that is not listed."
