Last Monday I quit taking that Bentyl (Dicyclomine) for the cramping. It was causing a severe lack of concentration and I just could not focus at all, I was having a difficult time even thinking straight. I spent most of my time laying in bed sleeping or staring at the tv or out the window... sometimes at my computer screen watching my bubbles screensaver. I just wasn't accomplishing anything. It also caused me to have real blurry and fuzzy vision, so much so I couldn't drive. And weirdly enough, I started breaking out, which, in addition to all my other side effects, also cleared up a few days after stopping the medication.
I'm trying something a little different... I'm taking half a Miralax everyday to see if that will help. So far I'm just having minor cramping. Not sure if it's the Miralax regimen or just that it's been a couple of weeks since my chemo and maybe the medication has gone out of my system thus causing the cramping to diminish. My next chemo is Monday so I guess we'll be finding out. I'm going to talk to the doctor to see if there is some other medication I can try... not sure if taking Miralax everday is healthy.
