Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Has anyone here ever taken Donnatal? When I was 7 or 8 months pregnant I went to the ER with a GB attack and they gave me the usual drink of maalox and lydocane (SP?). I started to become really drowsy and I felt like I was drunk, I started to freak out because I hate that feeling and I knew something was wrong and when I asked the nurse he said that they had put Donnatal in there to stop the GB from spasming and those were just side effects. I was so pissed, I had always refused meds except for the maalox/lydocane drink. He assurred me that the donnatal wouldnt hurt the baby. But when I went home the baby would be totally still and then he would jerk so hard it hurt, and he did that until he was born. Anyway , I just went on the walgreens website and looked it up and it said in really big letters:WOMEN; THIS DRUG HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HARM THE HUMAN FETUS. Now i am really upset. I know it had an effect on him. Has anyone else taken this drug? Have you had side effects like this? Hopefully no one else had a Dr that bad that would give you that while pregnant.
