Thanks to this great board for all the support! I had a problem with Doxycycline because of horrible nausea. I got the info on this board to try Dicyclomine. I put off trying it for months as I just couldn't bring myself to get so sick. But I finally tried it and no nausea! So glad.
Does anyone know how to take it? Before eating, any restrictions, etc?

- First, go to the manufacturer's direct website to find the specific instructions.
In addition, hope you get some good replies here but, really, your LLMD should have detailed instructions. You might call their office on Monday and see if the office manager can check your chart or further guide you.
Wiki is a good place to begin but not to end. Mylan appears to the manufacturer for the pill photographed here. Whatever name appears on your pills, find their direct home page and compare photos and then find the directions for use.

i didnt know it was used for nausea. it has been one of my emergency meds for 25 yrs...after being hospitalized for 9 days with abd pain and no bm
they did every test there is on me and decided it was ibs
so i was discharged with this med and told to take 6 if i got the pain again. if that didnt help i was to go to hosp.
later a new doc prescribed and it said 2 as needed every 6 hrs for bowell spasms. those were 10 mg. not sure what the first ones were.
i always need them when coming out of colonoscopy...but aside from that as long as i eat real food (not processed) i rarely have an attack.
usually only if severe stress...once my adult son was out of town on business and had emergency appendix surg...that gave me an attack.
i am quite sure dicyclomine is a bowell muscle relaxer...i guess nausea could be a symptom...but i would double check to make sure you are taking the right thing if you are taking it regularly
