"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."

"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."
