antispasmodics.

I use dicyclomine....starting with 10mg dosage up to 3 times a day helps tremendously.

You will have some side effects that can have you feeling a bit...well...relaxed.

I've used them for over 19 years.

i was given Hyoscyamin SL TB 0.125MG, you just dissolve one tablet under the tongue every 6 hours as needed. When I was at the peak of my flare these worked wonders and were the only thing that worked! Ask your doctor about it. I just told my doc my cramps were killing me and heating pads weren't working and i didn't know what eles to do so he gave me this and I keep a script handy just in case!

i know i'm the pharmacy student and should point you to drugs but i'm not.

i find in my personal experience that peppermint tea or spearmint help with the cramping. it's really soothing to the gut.

the dicyclomine in my experience(when i took it) gave me dry mouth and urinary retention.
