Does Levsin Help Anyone??

I have rather severe IBS-D. My doctor had me take trial of Levsin. It did nothing. I mean absolutely nothing for my cramps or D. He had me increase my dosage... still no effect at all. He was very surprised that it did not help. He said almost everyone sees some benefit from Levsin. He refused to let me try Lomotil, which I have heard is very effective.

My question.. Does Levsin work for any of you? If so, what effect does it have?

Thanks for reading!!

How much do you take? How long did it take to start working?
