"Last 15 years with IBS and with not a real help from doctors' medications so they can have me as a good client forever. After doing some hours of search, mostly here in drugs.com, reading all similar problems' reviews, I found that maybe loperamide could help me. Started a 2 mg pill and another one in case of emergency. In just 2 days, all symptoms stopped. No diarrhea, no typhoon in my colon anymore (4th week now). Had no side effects as far as now. Also, I use once at night a 70 mg cholestyramine. Now at least I can work and think, things I had stopped since a long time ago. Thank you all for all reviews and drugs.com that guided me very easily, slowly, slowly to understand my problem."

"Bad side effects on heart, had used it for a while at a really bad job with no toilet, but after taking it every day for a while, it doesn't help me anymore, and the side effects are much more pronounced."
