Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Anticholinergic Side-effects (Bentyl)

Well, I've taken Bentyl, Levsin, Donnatol and Librax before, but they are pretty much all the same with the exception that the Donnatol and Librax also have a mild sedative. I'm not at all familiar with the other drugs you mentioned.

I work for an eye doctor though and I am concerend about the waviness you describe in your vision. That is a sign that your cornea is being damaged and could lead to serious, permanant vision problems. I've personally never heard of Bently causing that. It does cause blurred vision because it relaxes the muscle of the eye but that is different from the waviness you describe. I would moniter yourself very carefully and if you start to notice that again, stop it right away.

I've never noticed the lack of emotion thing before either from Bentyl but like I mentioned, I'm not exactly sure how the Bentyl is different from that other drug you were on. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer better!
