Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: No Advice, Just a Question

Bev, yes the are "supposed" to be preventative, I got yelled at when I was cutting back, before Heather's I had D attacks about 4-5 times a week. I would be good a couple weeks than bam, more D 4-5 times a week. I have had this for at least 20 years and have been on every anti-spasdomic there is, Librax is what I'm taking now and it is the only one, that stopped the attacks from being everyday always. Even taking it 3x a day I would gt those Gut wrentching awful pain, nausea, cramping, want to die attacks. Since Heather's diet, have only had about 5, since November of last year. So about two months ago I decided to cut back to 2x a day and have had 2 attacks, than I go back to 3 for a while. Yes, in the past I only had to pay my co-pay for them, now that it's no "formulary" they won't pay grrrrrr. Anytime I have tried any meds, I have been not yelled at, but sternly warned that they are to be taken as prescribed, not prn (as needed). Since I'm on this diet, maybe I'll go back to a different one, I know I used to take Donnatol also, the 12hr ones.....Just a thought, but I would love to hear anyone's input on their experiences with RX meds and stopping them or modifying them. Thanks a bunch
