I dont know who to talk to, i wwnt to let people know that a prescribed
medicine the dr put me on put me in the hospital 6 times, i lost 40 lbs, and
had about every test on stomack , intestines, etc. i also had to take
imodium for a year and a half for the runs, all the drs couldent figure out
what was wrong., i felt i just wanted to die. i was in constant severe
pain. and did not see an end to it.
I was watching tv one evening and the advertisement about this medicine came
on and said one of the side evffects were stomack pain. this was where all
my problems started, about every 6 weeks to 2 months i would have to go to
the emergency room doubled over in stomack pain. My drs would take me off
all my medicine, sedate me and put me on pain killers. run me thru all
these tests, but could never find out what was wrong with me. i had had
pancreatitis before so they thought it had some thng to do with this.
anyway, after seeing this commercial, i thoght it wasent gona hurt to get
off this medicine, not really expecting it to be the problem. well let me
tell you it was. withing 3 days my stomack pain started subsiding, i got
off 2 medications the drs put me on because of my stomack. and also i got
off the imodium. when i told my rimary physician about it , he couldent
hardely believe it. he did tho., and apologized up and down that all these
drs couldent put it together. anyway. WHO DO I TELL, i want people to know
who take this medicine and i also want doctors who prescribe this medicine
that it can do this. my doctors sure did'ent know. can anyone tellme how
to get it to the drs and the medicine companies.
thanks kathy

If you saw it on TV then they must be aware of this side effect already,
y'know? Too bad you reacted so badly to whatever-it-was.
