"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."

"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!"
