Hey D--
I've been on imodium for the last 10 years with no ill effects. Currently, I take 240 2mg loperimide tablets/month and I supplement them with simethicone (available together if you take Imodium Advanced). 
I'd be home bound with tragic, painful explosive D if I didn't have this wonderful medication. I'm not a C, never been, so anything I find that constipates me is wonderful. I'm being treated with imodium, donnatal, tylenol-3, and hyocycamine spray for my attacks.
For the imodium (loperimide 2mg), I take 2 when I get up, 1 before meals and 2 before bed for nighttime attacks (8 a day goes pretty fast  ). If I have an attack, I'll take 2 or 3 to stop it in its tracks. It works AWESOMELY as a preventative, which means I don't have to wait after lunch when I have a meeting at work to have an attack before I take them.
