I have taken lomotil for many years when I was basically IBS C and still later when diagnosed with diverticulosis.

During a recent bout of constipation I stopped the lomotil all together. That seemed to bother me more with cramping and spasms. On checking with a doctor on the net, AllExperts.com and then with my own physician was advised that because of long usage and the fact of it is a narcotic base stopping completely can put your system out of whack so to speak. Better to reduce only.

Anyone with similar experience? While I use lomotil Immodium can cause similar results according to both physicians.
