I really need some advice here. I was doing well for a while, then suddenly every month at the onset ofm y period i develop horrible horrible stomach/uterine/intestinal cramps. this lasts for the entire time i have my period and i pretty much have difficulty walking, sleeping, etc. I also develop severe constipation.
I have prescriptions for bentyl and levsin, also nortriptyline because I started off as IBS-D.
Now i'm a combo of both and this new monthly pain thing has set in.
I have no idea what to take anymore, or in what order, when, etc. Don't the anti-spasmodics cause C?
I also don't know if maybe taking something like Seasonale where I'd only get my period 4 times a year would help.
Any advice would be appreciated, I've resorted to taking Vicodin to be able to function at this point.

I take Bentyl when I feel like I need it and it does not cause me to be C. Hopefully you will find something that works for you. Good Luck!
