This drug almost completely took away my nighttime addomen pain allowing me to finally sleep without getting up every 2 hours. I have had little side effects. I have suffered from abdominal pain for 10 years and this is the only thing that has helped it.

It definitely eased my bowel spasm, which was severely painful. It was the only thing that helped.

MY PRESCRIPTION SAYS TO DISSOLVE TABLET UNDER TONGUE, IT IS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAN SWALLOWING WHOLE. SEEMS TO WORK VERY WELL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OCCASIONAL SORE THROAT.

It has stopped the bloating and cramping, but the pain and diarrhea aren't going away.

Almost Killed Me. Due to me being a diabetic, I was not given a warning by my doctor or the pharmacist that it could cause low blood sugar reaction in an insulin dependent diabetic.

My doctor prescribed this for IBS. I have been on it for about 3.5 months and have had two flare-ups during that period. The last one was a couple of days ago and was horrible. I go back in December and am going to see what other options are available.

This has worked for me most of the time. I have only had 2 incidents since I have started the drug. It is not perfect, but definitely better than going without it. The main side effect I have is dry mouth.

Nothing is worse, than having a stomach ache. With IBS you never know what your stomach is going to react to. My stomach goes wild after a very stressful day. I am glad I have Hyomax to take, it works.

I was prescribed this medication for antibiotic colitis. I was first given Flagyl and it did not help at all. Then I was given hyomax-sr and it really worked. I feel so grateful for this medicine. My vision did get a little blurry, but nothing that scared me. I woke up a few times in the night, but went back to sleep easily. This drug really works and overall I had a great experience using it. I am well now!

I was told to take a pill every morning and night for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. While this medication seems to have helped that problem, I had to stop taking it because it caused blurred vision and dilated pupils.
