I recently started taking Dicyclomine 10mg capsules for my IBS symptoms, and it's been a bit of a roller coaster. The medication has definitely helped with the cramping and pain, but I've noticed some side effects that have been a bit concerning. I wanted to share my experience and hear from others who might be going through the same thing. I've noticed a lot of fatigue and drowsiness, which can be quite frustrating. I've also experienced some dry mouth and constipation, which aren't too severe but still noticeable. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Are there any tips or tricks to manage these side effects? I'm curious to know if anyone has faced any of the more serious side effects mentioned in the info sheet. I've been a bit anxious about the possibility of experiencing something more severe.
