Lomotil - when to take for good night's sleep?

aka KNKLHEADMember

Hi!

I am having some issues with diarrhea and Immodium/Metamucil are not helping. I am dealing with a fissue and leakage, but would love to get a better night's sleep.

The doctor prescribed Lomotil cautiously, and I'd like to take one pill to get started. Would anyone have a recommendation when to take a pill so that I can slow down the works a bit for a better night's sleep?

Thanks for your advice.

My daughter always takes 2. If your prescription allows 2 at once that's what I would recommend. She almost always sleeps through the night (but has FAP not IBD).

You can always start with one at bedtime, and see how it works. If one Lomotil doesn't do the trick overnight, it's fine to take two at once. If it's mainly gas that's waking you up, you might need to explore ways to get that under control.

Rebe0505, I have the same prescription. It's been 1 year since my takedown and I now find myself taking approximately 4 per day instead of the max of 8.

KNKLHEAD, I attempt to not eat anything for up to 2 hours before I head to bed. I take 2 lomitol approximately a half hour before bed.

Hope you find a solution soon.
