"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 $1,200 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!"

"I had nonstop diarrhea for almost 18 months for no apparent reason. I went to the ER and got admitted several times to the hospital, and they did a scope, said I do not have UC, and said I have IBS and to go home and deal with it. I had to go to the toilet 15-20 times every day. I had diarrhea whether I ate or did not eat. I am elderly and needed my hip and knees replaced, and I could not even leave home to go to the doctor 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 called gastro, asked can he give it, and he said it causes constipation and some have died, blah blah blah. I suffer from severe constipation all my life from diet, then later in life due to opioid pain meds, so no problem. It cost me $95 for 0.05 mg 2x a day. I took a few doses, and the diarrhea slowed and stopped. A miracle. It does cause constipation, so I only take a few pills a week now. It took time to get the dose right for me. It stops diarrhea but does cause constipation. It's a thin line. I also take senna and a softener with it."
