How long does it take for Bentyl to leave the bloodstream, if you have only been taking it for a short time? ## According to NIH.gov, Bentyl's primary route of excretion is through the urine (reportedly 79.5% of the dose). RE: Blood - They go on to mention that the average plasma elimination half life of Bentyl in one of their [9 hour long] studies was shown to be approx. 1.8 hours. Further noting that, "in subsequent studies, the plasma concentrations were followed for [up to 24 hours] after a single dose, showing a secondary phase of elimination with a somewhat longer half-life." Source: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/archives/49910 To my understanding (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the duration of time in which you've taken Bentyl shouldn't alter the dru...

Wondering if anyone else had a weird psychiatric reaction to Bentyl? Confusion, delusions and unbelievable fatigue. ## Hello, Sal! How are you doing? How much were you taking? Those types of reactions have been known to occur, but usually only with high doses. How long were you taking it? Are you on any other medications? ## Yes, Yes, and Yes. I was on this forum a few weeks ago and I literally thought I was losing it. But yes Bentyl can and for me did have those adverse effects especially the extreme fatigue. I felt like I was two people looking at myself from the outside. Those should pass after a few weeks of taking the pill, but I do think that some of the effects will be mild but still linger even after the adjustment period. The key is knowing why you feel that way. So nothing is ...

I've been on Bentyl (Dicyclomine) for 2 months and have been experiencing bad headaches among other side effects. I've recently stopped and I want to know how long will it remain in my system? ## Hi Terry, Sorry to hear about the horrible headaches. I hope you've gotten around to feeling better since the timing of your post. According to the MedsChat half-life calculator, Dicyclomine reportedly has a half-life of 3.5 hours. This means that every 3.5 hours, half of the dose you took is being excreted (and so forth).

I don't know how what dose of Dicyclomine you took or how frequently it was taken, but hopefully these ballpark figures can give y...

I was prescribed 20mg. Bentyl for possible IBS. After the first dose I was extremely dizzy,tired and developed a headache. The second dose that I took six hours later gave me the same reactions but it additionally made me itch and the tip of my tongue felt tingly. The next day I took half of one and again had the same reaction as if I had taken just as much as the first day. Has anyone else experienced a similar reaction especially regarding the itching and tingly tongue? I called my doctor and have stopped using it. ## Hi Julie, Sorry to hear about your situation. The symptoms you describe sound like a possible allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to either ?Bentyl (Dicyclomine) and/or the fillers that make up the pill's composition. As far as side effects are concerned, NIH.gov l...
