 4  occasional diarrhea No adverse side effects Works really well for occasional diarrhea, bur I have to take more tablets than indicated on the label (and more often). My only grievance is that it is not stocked on the shelf any more. I have to wait in a pharmacy line and solicit the pharmacist to please let me buy Loperamide. And now the bottles contain much fewer tablets. Is this just in my state or is the whole country restricting sales? M 64 11 years

 5  diarrhea None Both my wife and I have used Imodium from time to time for many years and it is always effective without side effects when taken as instructed. We have never experienced problems with this drug. It almost always takes only one day, very occasionally two, to work. M 60 1 days

 2  spastic colon ibs constipation, anxiety, drowsiness, fatigue, unable to have a bowel movement (colonic inertia), depressed central nervous systemic effects, diahrrea when discontinuing Very disappointed. Don't believe that it won't cause constipation. For me, I took it for spastic colon / I did not have diahrrea from the start so maybe it was just my poor choice of drugs...just wanted the spasms to stop and it is an anticholinergenic.../...it worked for that no more spasticity wow great, but had terrible consequences (see list). Wouldn't do it again. I believe if you have ibs-d this might be a tremendous help but for me it wasn't the help I wanted. F 53 1 months

 3  I had awful cramps & diarrhoea I took this otc medicine to help with excruciating cramps and diarrhoea over the weekend! Within an hour the cramps was under control but then the vertigo started! I could not stand up and felt I had lost touch with reality, staring into space for hours and just felt really off and weird but put that down to my tinnitus playing up, never linked it to Imodium until I took it again this morning when the cramps started again, thats when the lightbulb went on and I knew it was side effects. I dont care how painful it gets I will never take it again. Gp appointment tomorrow to figure out what is going on with my insides F 49 2 days

 5  Diarrhea No bad side effects. Only relief! I sometimes take this product before going anywhere or when I'm under stress and know that I might need the extra help when the diarrhea hits. I experience IBS-like symptoms (cramps, diarrhea, and the anxiety that goes with it like fear of having an accident), and my digestion process often doesn't do well, this product takes care it! It's amazing! F 44

 1  Diarrhoea Took Imodium so I didn't need to rush to the toilet when I was out for the day as I'd had a couple of days of diarrhoea. Well, a few hours after I had severe stomach cramps, bloating, gas, dizziness and ended I up curled up in the fetal position for a whole evening. I also didn't go to the toilet for 2 days after! I guess it works for some people for some reasons. I would never take it again, the pain is almost unbearable. F 40 1 days
