I have IBS and this is the first medicine that has relieved the intense cramping. I have found that using a heating pad along with the medication brings quicker relief. The only drawback is that the Levsin tends to make me a bit sleepy. Published: December 14, 2007 ::

Levsin really worked for me and I felt the best I have felt in a long time while taking it. However they are no longer making it from what I am being told. Now my problems are back and I feel like crap again. Has anyone found a replacement for this drug? If so please advise, many thanks in advance! Published: September 23, 2008 ::

Comment from: zdq18, 25-34 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

This medicine is very easy to take, because it can be placed under your tongue. Although, the few times that I took Levsin it made me feel very strange. I had dizziness, blurred vision, slurred speech, and a very fast heartrate. There is absolutely no way that I could take this medicine and function enough to drive or work. The effects were scary enough that I will never take this again. Published: February 16, 2008 ::

Comment from: Female (Patient)

I got this medicine for my infant with colic. Our pediatrician told us the child would grow out of the stomach pains. My child was in severe pain. A family medicine doctor prescribed this for him and it made all his pains go away almost immediately! IT IS WONDERFUL! Don't let your child suffer through colic without trying this first!

Comment from: Californian, 65-74 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

My doctor prescribed Levin to treat my IBS/diarreah. The pharmacy filled the prescription with a generic (Hyomax-SL 0.125 mg), which I take twice a day. This has worked pretty well for me as long as I keep taking it. However, I have been having problems with foot pain and don't know if it is related to this drug. Has anyone else noticed such a side effect? Published: November 14, 2008 ::

Comment from: ntobear3y, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

This medicine worked great for me over the last couple of yrs. I've been taking it , then all of a sudden the pharmacy doesn't carry it anymore.Some manufactures don't make any more was the excuse I got. Now I'm in alot of pain. It took about a month of not taking anything to get totally sick again. This kind of uncomfortable feelings and pain are keeping me from my daily work. The doctor hasn't found anything yet to help me because of other health issues. If anyone has any info please contact me at ntobear3@hotmail.com Published: September 20, 2008 ::
