Hi there,

I am currently taking 2 lomotil every 8 hours. I was taking 2 every 6 hours, but dropped down because it wasn't making much difference.

Reading some of the posts here, I wonder if I have been taking it correctly. Is it meant to be taken in equal time slots? Things are always worse for me in the evening and into the night. Rather than spacing it out every 8 hours, would it make more sense - and is it recommended to take it say at 5pm and then again at 9pm? Or possibly even sooner if things don't improve? My Dr just told me I could take up to 2 4x per day, but no instructions of how to break that time up.

I still go usually twice at night and anywhere from 8-12 times during the day. I've tried codeine but that usually only works the first night I take it and then not again until I take a break from it.

Can I take Immodium in conjunction with lomotil or is it an all or nothing scenario? Perhaps I could take lomotil during the day and then Immodium at bedtime?

My take down was at the end of April 2013, so I am still struggling.

I am also taking 9mg of Entocort daily for inflammation because I can't take the antibiotics.

Sorry for the long post. If someone could give me some direction about the use of lomotil/immodium, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
