I haven't taken it in I want to say 5 months- It wasn't really doing anything for me- It gave me "loose stool" for the first couple of days and then 3 months later I didn't feel any difference. So I went off it- Then about 9 months later my doctor wanted me to try it again to see if it helped with my pain. It didn't. It definately sounds like you had all the necessary tests done- Wow- I had the same ones done but also had a hidascan(gallbladder test) done which showed nothing. Currently I take Zoloft (antidepressant) because I was having a hard time dealing with having painful cramps allll day long every single day of my life. It brought me down big time, because it changed so much in my life and not for the better. I also take ambien to help me sleep at night. Other than that I don't take anything- I tried the antispasmoidics- Levsin, Nulev, hyoscamine (they're all tha same) they made me reallly constipated, blurred my vision, and made me very sleepy- I have to get up at 5:15 to go to work every day- I couldn't function like that- so I had to accept that this is how it is going to be and that's it. I watch what I eat, fat content, dairy etc... It is such an overwhelming thing to deal with sometimes. I have more bad days than good and it's hard. I hope you get some relief from the Zelnorm- ALot of people have had luck with it.
