 1  Intestinal virus/diarrhea I was sick with an intestinal virus that caused fever and diarrhea. An NP recommended Imodium which I took on Sunday afternoon. I've been exhausted, increasingly nauseous, have a low constant abdominal pain, and I am unable to have a bowel movement since then (now Tuesday morning). I would have rather dealt with the diarrhea and now my discomfort has been prolong thanks to this drug. Avoid at all costs IMHO... F 28 1 days

 1  Travel very bad stomach cramping and unable to have any bowel movements for 2 days now. It completely shut down my colon but now I am having very bad stomach pain. I would rather have kept the diarreah. I would not reccomend this at all as it is always best to just let your system empty out naturally. Definitely stops diarreah or the feeling of having to go to the bathroom, but it also does the opposite by eliminating any sort of bowel movement- not just the dirreah. F 31 2 days

 4  severe IBS dizziness, fatigue I have suffered from IBS for almost 9 years now. I used to take Lotronex until my new doctor advised me that it is not worth the potential risks of it. Instead, he told me to take Imodium every day if need be. So for the past 7 months I take an insane amount of Imodium a week. However, I have built a serious tolerance to it. I now need to take 18-20 pills before going out to a social event (in the past i need 8-12 to do the job). It does the job, but I feel like it is unhealthy to take up to 50 per week. Also, because I have such a severe IBS case I never become constipated. I usually have a bowel movement within a day or two. F 25 7 months

 3  IBS-Diarrhea Triggered By Anxiety Mild fatigue I began taking Imodium because I get diarrhea whenever I'm in a social situation, even if it is something as simple as taking a five minute trip with a close family member. At first, the Imodium worked like a charm. Over the course of a few months, however, I built up a tolerance to it and it completely lost its effectiveness. Bear in mind that I had to take it every day. M 22 4 months

 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
