Ulrika - thanks for posting your story! I've had periods where I've needed to take Imodium for months, even years at a time. I never developed a tolerance to it, and I had never heard of that happening until some people shared their stories here. I feel bad for them that it no longer works, but it's important to remember that Imodium still works as a maintenance drug for a lot of IBSers.

I actually only needed to use a small dose (1 - 2 mg/day) when using it as a preventive. I didn't have problems with constipation either. I've had several doctors okay it for long-term management of IBS. Without it, I probably would have missed a lot of classes, work, and social activities.
