A member asked:

Doc gave me bentyl (dicyclomine) 10 mg for cramping and pain of ibs hate the way it makes me feel day after taking i am still dopey feeling.suggested alternatives?

See details: See a gastroenterologist. There may be much better options for ibs than bentyl (dicyclomine). Also, be sure the doctor checks you for celiac disease as this diagnosis is often missed as a cause of ibs-like symptoms.
