Personally, I try my best not to take it because I don't care for medicines. If I am at a point where I know I need it, I take it.

From what I have come to understand about Immodium, it doesn't prevent you from having to go to the bathroom, but what it does is slow the travel of matter in your bowels. In a way it constipates you, it's how I kind of view it. When you have diarrhea, you have a very liquid movement. Immodium slows it down and reduces the number of trips to the bathroom.

It works to reduce some of the pain and diarrhea for me, but I will most often develop an issue of constipation after using it. I suppose that is one reason I don't really use it.
