Hi. I took Lomotil for almost 2 years and never found it to be dangerous. If you take too much on a daily basis though you will experience alot of constipation which might actually increase your trips to the bathroom because you aren't able to get it all out in one trip. I've had that issue in the past and I can tell you I'd much rather have diarrhea than deal with constipation. I've always been scared to take Immodium on a regular basis because I've been hospitalized with a couple blockages and felt that could contribute to that. Good Luck.
Lomotil is pretty safe if used as directed. As phonix2g wrote, it's possible to take too much and get yourself in some trouble from that. I don't use it all day, but I've been using it at bedtime for about 12 years.
I also feel that Lomoti is safe. I also took it for five years . It slows your digestive system. The only time I take them if I am going to be out all day or I am having a problem but Scott is right it can make you constipated. Stay healthy Grace
