Antispasmodics       03/16/04 08:06 AM Edit Reply Quote Kree Reged: 10/08/03 Posts: 3748 Loc: Northern NY Antispasmodics like Levsin actually don't need to be taken 3 times a day if that doesn't seem necessary to you. My doc also prescribed Bentyl to me 3x/day, but then I learned from Heather that antispasmodics don't build up in your system, so they're just as effective if you only take them when you need them. I slowly weened myself off Bentyl so that I now only take it when I feel very iffy, which is sometimes only once a month! Personally, I feel better not pumping my body full of unnecessary drugs. Another question... does the Levsin seem to be helping you? Because people seem to react better to different antispasmodics. If this one doesn't seem effective you could always ask your doc if you could try another. Good luck! -------------------- "Anyone can exercise, but this kind of lethargy takes real discipline." -Garfield Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
