For those who use tincture of opium to decrease frequency and incontinence - exactly what is your dosage? Do you take it in day time as well as night? And have you had any side effects? Any info welcome. (My son is on humira, methotextrate, severely restricted diet, augmentin, and immodium, and still has high frequency and incontinence.) Thank you.

I had my pouch removed and no longer need the opium but when I was taking it the dose was .6ml.
It helped with frequency a lot and somewhat with the incontinence. I really didnt experience any significant side effects. I usually took it when I was going out and wasnt on a regular schedule. I sometimes would take at night but mostly during the day. I would mix with some water as it tastes rather foul, but you get used to the taste after a while. It is a medicine from the 19th century and I would say much safer than the drugs he is taking, save imodium which is fairly benign.

I've been taking 3 drops 3x/day (morning/Noon/night) and can't say for sure if it's doing anything. I did start taking two Pepto tablets and 3 Immodium tabs before bed and I've cut down down my frequency to one (or none) during the overnights. Also on Doxyc and Konsyl fiber so not sure what is working. Was having issues still with the overnights before taking the pepto and Immodium (started about two weeks ago) but things have quieted down some.
No side effects from Opium that I know of.
