Those Questioning Zelnorm......       12/07/04 07:16 AM Edit Reply Quote bellshel32 Reged: 10/28/04 Posts: 371 Loc: Kansas, USA Yes, people have gotten D on Zelnorm. It's a powerful pill. But my doctor's office told me that you might have to adjust your dose & the frequency of the dose if it seems too strong. I started taking 3 mg twice a day. Gave me D about an hour after taking each dose. Then, I took 3 mg once a day. Again, gave me D about an hour later. My doctor recommended cutting back to 3 mg once every other day. But because I knew that dose gave me D, I tried 1.5 mg once every other day. That has worked for me. Sometimes it doesn't make me have a BM, but usually I have a BM within a few hours of taking the dose. (I take it an hour before I eat breakfast.) I mention this because you shouldn't be afraid to decrease your dose to something that will work for you. (You just cut the pill. I bought a pill cutter at the drug store.) It doesn't necessarily have to give you D. Shel Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
