Bowel urgency: Any suggestions?

I know this post is old, but just in case you’re still monitoring, I am wondering If you started Bentyl and what it did for you? I already have a stack of meds my doctor tells me “not to worry about”, but have had some pretty grizzly side effects, so I do worry! I’m afraid to start another one and wonder if you have any info to share. Thanks!

I still do take 10 mg Bentyl (generic -dicyclomine) when I am going away from my house before around 9:30 AM. So not frequently since I am retired. It seems to quell bowel urgency after about 45 minutes to an hour. The side effects for me are mild…initially some imbalance, a little lightheadedness, but I can still walk and think fine.
It wears off after about 6 hours, may need another dose, if you need more help later.
Hope this helps.
