Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Does the Bentyl work well for cramps? I do not have a lot of money, so that means a lot of my diet is what I can afford - i.e. pasta and wheat products. They also seem to sneak dairy in everywhere. I actually have tachycardia, I wonder if the Wellbutrin did that too? I have had it for as long as I can remember, but generally as long as I do not get crazy with smoking or coffee (which I should avoid anyway), I am okay. I usually forget I have it unless I drink a coffee and find my heart racing. I also need to eat more bananas.

And I am on Metaprolol for tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) and extra heartbeat which I had before I started these meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes Bentyl does help a lot and it is on the four dollar list at Walmart and Kroger's. I wanted to let everyone know too that CVS will do a price match on any prescription and that includes the $4 list. All you have to do is let the pharmacy tech know. If I do not take Metoprolol for my tachycardia then my heart goes crazy. FM causes me to have chest pains and I have thought several times that I am having a heart attack. I have learned to put the heating pad to it and it goes away though. That in itself is scary because what if I have a real heart attack? Hugs, SHELL > Jen wrote: Does the Bentyl work well for cramps?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I also have IBS and FM . FM does cause high blood pressure along with a few other things. It has been known to cause heartattacks but they don't list it as one of the symptoms. My mother and half sister both have FM. They both have high blood pressure and have had angina.Their FM isn't as bad or as strong as mine. My half sister is on my father's side. So I got it from both sides of my family Gentle hugs, Ms.Katurah Shell wrote: If I do not take Metoprolol for my tachycardia then my heart goes crazy.
