Levsin and Bentyl

I see from Meds lists that some of you take Bentyl to decrease number of stools and slow down transit time. when I asked my doc about Bentyl, he prescribed Levsin. Does anyone know the difference between these two drugs? I know many of you have been doing research for years on all possible helpful tools. I wonder if Imodium is just as useful?

I have the same question. Mesalamines do nothing for me, anything that slows transit time works.

However I already have Librax and I suspected it makes me drowsy. That was a complaint regarding bentyl. Mebeverine is not available in the US.

Interested in replies regarding

1) Effectiveness
2) Level of fatigue

with

1) Bentyl
2) Levsin
3) Librax

Thanks

My doctor told me Levsin and Bentyl are in the same family of drugs, and as Red_34 said they are anti-spasmodics and may relieve some of the gas pain. I tried Bentyl but it made my dizzy so I use Levsin. It works really fast for me and really relieves the stomach pain I get. Good Luck!
