"I have had IBS-D most of my life. Until Imodium came along, I had to stay home... I use the Imodium Multi-Symptom more often than the Imodium A-D for one specific reason - the ease of accessing the pill. The packaging for the A-D is absolutely, beyond a doubt, one of the dumbest ever conceived! Definitely not something you can have handy in your purse or wallet. You'd never be able to get to it in an emergency. You have to use scissors to cut the tiny pill out! But, with the Imodium Multi-Symptom, you simply bend the corner at the perforation, pull the paper back, and access the pill. It is a larger pill, so for people who have difficulty swallowing, you may want to buy a small bottle of Imodium - no individual packages to mess with."

"Used Imodium for many years. Very happy with it. Don't depend on anything else. If it wasn't for Imodium, I would not be able to leave the house. Very hard to open to get pill out. Wish you could make it a little easier. Have to use scissors to get pill out. Please improve it."

"I was tapering off of both MS Contin and Percocet and developed diarrhea. I started taking Imodium and started itching and a rash. It did help the diarrhea, but I am one of the people that had a reaction to this medication, unfortunately. I also had cramping and sweating, as well as lightheadedness."

"Best OTC medicine available, with the least side effects (maybe a little sleepy). Great to take traveling!"

"I used to get diarrhea with my panic attacks, and Imodium A.D. made it possible for me to still travel. It works almost instantly, it stops the got-to-go feeling instantaneously."

"The new packing is impossible to open. I cannot open the packet. Did you ever hear, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'? Why did you change? I like the product, now I need to find a new one."

"I have severe symptoms, and after 4 doses, Imodium A-D has not worked for me. Symptoms continue despite treatment with Imodium A-D."

"If Imodium doesn’t work for you, then you might have Bile Acid Diarrhea (BAM). So you need Cholestrymine. It’s horrible, first month makes things worse, then bam, you're all good. As far as Imodium, you have to take two, and then after the next poop, take another one, and this will completely stop you up."
