"I had nonstop diarrhea for almost 18 months for no apparent reason. I went to ER and got admitted several times to hospital and they did scope said I do not have UC and said I have IBS and go home and deal with it. I had to go to toilet 15-20 times every day. I had D whether I ate or did not eat. I am elderly and needed hip and knees replaced and I could not even leave home to go to doc to see about these things. I was weak. I had tried all OTC stuff and Lomotil and none of it worked. Then I searched on Google and there I saw it. I call gastro ask can he give it. He says it causes constipation and some have died blah blah blah. I suffer with severe C all my life from diet then later in life due to opioid pain meds so no prob. It cost me 95 for .05 mg 2x a day. I took a few doses and the D slowed and stopped. A miracle. It does cause C so I only take a few pills a week now. It took time to get the dose right for me. It stop diarrhea but does cause constipation .Its a thin line. I also take senna and softener with it."

"I have had to adjust the amount recently. The BIGGEST problem is the large price if you are on Medicare. I am in the donut hole and it is costing me over $1200. A month for 60. I am going broke trying to afford to be " normal". The discount cards don't work if you are on Medicare. That needs to be changed!"
