Atropine / diphenoxylate for Diarrhea "I have recently been diagnosed with C. diff, which is a very bad bowel infection. I have lost 20 pounds due to severe diarrhea from the C. diff. My doctor prescribed me Lomotil 3 times a day to help with the urgent bouts of diarrhea. I find taking 1-2 seems to be effective enough to not have the watery poops, but enough I can live my life without urgency to go to the washroom. I've been stuck at home for over a month with worry about not finding a bathroom in time. This medicine has helped me enough to be able to enjoy some things without severe pain and diarrhea."

Atropine / diphenoxylate for Diarrhea "I took Lomotil for over 10 years, without taking it, I had up to 20 stools a day. I took 9 a day. I had to have eye surgery because it damaged my eyes. I now take Lomotil 5 a day with occasional bouts of diarrhea. Then I take 2 more. It is nice to only have 1 stool a day, after years of being a slave to the toilet."

Atropine / diphenoxylate for Diarrhea "I had diarrhea several times a week and especially when we went out. I felt housebound. After beginning dosages of Lonox, I was more comfortable, able to travel, and able to eat out. Because of these improvements in my health, I also am more secure in leaving my house."

Atropine / diphenoxylate for Diarrhea "I am taking Lomotil because I had surgery. Then a bone infection set in, and I had to take IV antibiotics, which caused extensive diarrhea. The first day I took Lomotil, it worked great for about 10 hours, but the following days decreased in its effectiveness. By the third day, it was no longer working for me, but I attribute this to the antibiotics. I will have to let my doctor know so that he can possibly prescribe another anti-diarrhea medicine or change my antibiotic."

For Diarrhea "Had a bout of what I was beginning to think was food poisoning. Long story short, I landed in the ER. This was prescribed for me, along with antibiotics. I have taken exactly one pill, one, a little over 48 hours ago. Have gone from extreme diarrhea (every 15-30 minutes) to not being able to go at all. From one dose. Does this stuff work as advertised? Unequivocally, yes! I am a bit nervous at this point as to whether I will ever be able to 'go' again? I have to admit - yes!"

For Diarrhea "Crohn's dx and anxiety disorder. I had a 4th-degree tear during childbirth, and the doctors were unaware I have Crohn's until 4 years later. This was after surgery in an attempt to repair a rectal-vaginal fistula. I would go into extreme flares after each surgery, then the acidic diarrhea would eat away my perineal wall and rectum/vagina. I was wearing diapers for 4 years until I finally was diagnosed. (Bag) I was taking Lomotil and an opium tincture to control the diarrhea, alternating oxy and Vicodin for their constipating effect. I can get some constipation for a few days after using Lomotil, which is painful in itself. I prefer hyoscamine for remission."

Atropine / diphenoxylate for Diarrhea "I have colon cancer that's in my lungs now. One of the chemo drugs I take gives me explosive diarrhea. Tried Imodium, got some relief. After the 5th explosion, decided to take Lomotil. It's been an hour. No runs!! This stuff is a miracle drug."
