I want to add some of my own that the Mayo Doctor told me to stop taking because they do effect motility:

Bentyl (Dicyclomine)
Levsin (Hycosimine)
Zoloft (makes vomiting worse)
Nortriptilyne
Dexilant

My entry about my first visit with the Mayo Clinic is HERE.

So, if you are on any of these drugs, check with your GI doctor and see if there is something else that you can take. Also check the side effects of your medicine to make sure that nothing will make your symptoms worse.
