Anita,
Hello. I managed to stay medicine free up until about a month ago, when the pain got too much to bare at times. I work at Starbucks and with the fast pace, I don't have time to let my attacks get the better of me. They are rare now, but when they visit they aren't very friendly. I am also IBS-C and stress is a HUGE trigger for me. I recently let my guard down and was hit hard. I called my amazing GI doctor who prescribed Levsin (I use the genaric brand). When I was told that a possible side effect was C, I was a little worried, but knew he wouldn't give me something that would add more to the problem.
Well, I have only had to take it 3 times, but it is great! I only have to take 1 (2 would make me go to sleep I think) and it takes care of the ab pain and my BM's are sorted by the next morning.
I hope that you find that your meds are more helpful than harmful.
Sheri
