I have recently been put on these. I have found that both the standard alverine citrate, which I had tried first, now the Simalvia, cause feelings of extreme anxiety about an hour after taking the tablet!

Weird and not listed in the side effects.

So far it seems ineffective on the pain anyway. Would love to hear other people’s experiences please.

Thinking of going back to the buscopan!

Hi looking on the drug databases it isn't a listed side effect. However as anticholinergic theoretically if it crosses the blood brain barrier it could interfere although usually they cause sedation or confusion. Do you take other meds?Simeticone is used in babies so clearly safe

Not what you're looking for?
