I have prescriptions for .125mg hyoscyamine tabs, 20mg dicyclomine tabs. Both of them are take every four hours as needed.
Well, the last three months or so, I've been getting super-bad attacks and nothing helps. I switched to Bentyl a couple weeks back and I don't think it's doing any better than the Levsin, although the tablets are a fetching shade of blue.
I asked my doctor if I could take a double dose when I'm having a bad attack. She hesitated and said, "Probably not." I am pretty desperate after another weekend of pain and misery and WAY too much time staring at the World's Ugliest and Cheapest Linoleum on my bathroom floor, so I'm looking into the higher dosage again.
So, I was just wondering what dosages other people were typically taking. I've looked up both drugs online and haven't really gotten anywhere. I am going to call the pharmacy tomorrow and see what they think. Don't worry, I won't take an extra dose without finding out first if it's gonna make me keel over. But I am curious if anyone is at a higher dose. Thanks!
