I take about 20 Rx imodium a day as preventatives (3 when I get up, 2 before going to bed, 3 before each time I eat, 2 during attacks and 3 after but more if I get really bad attacks), and tylenol-3 for associated pain with eating, total about 3-4 a day. Doing so regularily has kept me stable for years. 
I also take tums for severe gas, and a calcium supplement. As well, I'm on the depo shot once every 3 months to help with getting rid of endo completely and managing IBS relating to periods (no periods, no period-related ibs attacks). I take an ocasional nortriptyline 25mg for sleep and kicking, RLS, and gnashing while sleeping as related to fibromyalgia. For I-wish-I-were-dead pain associated with fibro and ibs, I'll take a 7.5 vicodin occasionally.
I've just started regimented heliotherapy for seasonal affective disorder and to promote a better sleep cycle (got me one of dem high falooting SAD sun lamps, and I've been tanning at a salon every 3 days  ).
I take Claratin and benedryl, alternatively, for allergies (due to indoor dust and outdoor molds and polllen) and asthma, for which I also take ventolin as an emergency inhaler. I find after puffing on the inhaler I get deeper sleep after the initial rush and crash, so I'll sometimes dose myself during the day knowing I'll sleep deeply that night. Ah, cross-medicating!
That's about all I can think of! This combination works great for me and I've been on them since college, except for the heliotherapy which I started last month. It took me a lot of trial and error to come to this point, and I'm happy with the result!!
