I was given this medicine for pain from Diverticulitis. It was wonderful. Taken at night I rested better and had no pain. If taken during the day it did cause drowiness.

my newborn had really bad colic, his doctor put him on levsin, instantly he was better, he could sleep (and so could i !) if your baby has colic talk to your doctor about this medication, it works!

I am in the last stages of congestive heart failure. This drug was prescribed to help eliminate excess saliva & chest congestion. Prior to taking this drug, I suffered with constant coughing & mucus buildup. After taking this medication, I am free from constant drooling and coughing up thick secretions. It started working within an hour of taking it.

I got this medicine for my infant with colic. Our pediatrician told us the child would grow out of the stomach pains. My child was in severe pain. A family medicine doctor prescribed this for him and it made all his pains go away almost immediately! IT IS WONDERFUL! Don't let your child suffer through colic without trying this first!

This medicine is very easy to take, because it can be placed under your tongue. Although, the few times that I took Levsin it made me feel very strange. I had dizziness, blurred vision, slurred speech, and a very fast heartrate. There is absolutely no way that I could take this medicine and function enough to drive or work. The effects were scary enough that I will never take this again.

this medicine has been a wonder drug for my IBS I would recommend it to anyone. I have been able to only have one or at the most two attacks (as I call them)a month compare to daily.

I have IBS and this is the first medicine that has relieved the intense cramping. I have found that using a heating pad along with the medication brings quicker relief. The only drawback is that the Levsin tends to make me a bit sleepy.
