Loperamide is brilliant - Loperamide is bad

ManchesterMember

Sorry for the confusing subject however:-

I find when my output is really high, especially at night, a couple of loperamide really helps and makes me have a full nights sleep.

Absolutely fantastic. However I find that after a couple of instances of this, when I stop taking the loperamide my BM's are horrendous.

Yes things are thicker slightly but I can't pass gas which is the holy grail as far as emptying my pouch.

Does anyone else find this and is there a way to combat it. Gastro has suggested opening a capsule and emptying half out. If i'm honest, I spend far too much time on my illness and I don't want to afford it anymore time messing with capsules.

I hate to say it but I think it may be time to get back on the Codeine for those occasions.

I simply can't fault codeine apart from the fact i'm a legal heroin addict when on it.

If you want a smaller dose, how about using the liquid type? Easier than messing with powders from a capsule.

To answer your first question though, no, I haven't had any problems like yours. Been taking it steadily for 17 years too.
