For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have experienced Irritable Bowel Syndrome for months and years. The flare-ups got so bad, everything would make me sick. Bounced from one doctor to the other. Gastroenterologist. Finally, I was so sick and went back to my GP, he prescribed me Levsin SL. It worked right away. No side effects. I feel great now, after so much pain and suffering. I highly recommend this medicine. Previously, I could hardly leave my house. I had no energy. The IBS attacks were so severe. The problem with IBS is some doctors think it's mental. I like to mention I take Probiotics every day and NEVER cheat on my diet. It's not worth it to eat something and then suffer for days."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I just found out that this drug is 'unapproved' by the FDA because it is 'not effective'. However, in my experience, it is the most effective drug I've tried for my IBS. I'm taking Linzess and use fiber supplements to regulate my system. These have helped to limit the number of attacks, however, I do still have them about twice a month. When my symptoms start, without Levsin SL I am in agony for anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours, with the Levsin SL, my symptoms come to a dead stop within five minutes of taking it. The plain (not sublingual) tablets take a little longer to work, but they are still better than suffering for over an hour. I don't understand how the FDA determined it was ineffective."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "If you have irritable bowel syndrome, then you know how it can seem to pop up at any time. This is a sublingual medication. As such, it works very quickly to stop spasms in the colon. As my physician explains it, it slows down the action of the colon. Antidiarrheals will completely stop the action of the colon. You don't want to stop the action of the colon."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I've used this drug for years. My problem is my insurance won't cover the sublingual pill. I have to have the melting medicine because I have attacks while out and unable to take meds without water. Has anyone else experienced this? I have BCBS insurance. The cost is killing me. Some months I can't afford it."

For Crohn's Disease "I have been using Levsin SL for many years for Crohn's (severe spasms). It is very effective. Two years ago, I started having severe spasms and leg cramps due to some unknown disease that is affecting my legs. I have constant pain in my leg muscles and long bones. I also have severe leg spasms/cramps at night. I discovered one night when having both colon and leg spasms that the Levsin SL stopped the leg muscle spasms. I discussed with my doctor, and I started using it at night to treat my leg spasms. The spasms are quite severe, with a pain level of up to 9 out of 10. Levsin is the only medication that I have found to be effective. The half-life for me is around 2-2.5 hours."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "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 warning until the pain starts."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "This medication is the best I have found out there. They need to have the FDA approve it. I have tried everything, nothing worked, this does. I love it. I can actually get some peace now."
