I've taken it now for about 5 months, but only when I need it. (read, going out to eat or eating a fairly good sized meal at home) From what I understand one of the down sides of it is that it can create more "C" so not the best for we "C" folks, but as an antispasmotic it works for me. I take 20mg. usually, but keep it in the 10mg. form. I'm told by the gastro you can take up to 80mg. a day. I tried Donnatol and Librax first. The Donnatol worked but took some getting used to over time, I guess because of the phenobarb in it. The Librax made me spacey. The Bentyl gives me no goofy side affects and I can function normally.
I TRY never to take more than 40mg. a day, and at night, I find a nice herbal relaxer, like valerian in tea or cap form, works just as well if not better.
