I have suffered with IBS for over 25 years. Now I am taking Lotronex once a day and I feel that I can do almost anything that I could not do before I started to take this medication. I was not able to go out to eat with my husband, visit with friends or even travel. I now feel well enough to be able to enjoy the things I was missing in my life. I am even back at school to get my BS in Health Studies.

Lotronex has made a tremendous diference in my quality of life. I teach middle schoolers, and before this drug I was looking for another career. I take the max dose, 2 1mg tabs per day, and still have some urgency, some loose stools, but no more accidents, leakage or explosive diarrhea. I wish a higher dose was available to me, but as long as this dosage keeps working like this, I'll be happy.

it works better than anything I have tried,am curious if other males are using it since it has only been tested on women

OMG, this has been truly a God sent for me. I have had IBS for 20 yrs. plus. I have been takin Lotorex for almost a 1yr. My doctor gave me a discount card i only pay 15 bucks.God sent this med to me. I will tell you all find that doctor that will go hi and low for you and your pocket book. One more thing dont miss a dose. sign. Texas

I have struggled with extreme stomach pains with diarrhea for quite a few years. Doc FINALLY put me on Lotronex. Granted, it's only been about a week and a half, but oh my! I'm already 1000% better. Had some stomach cramping within the first two days of starting the drug, but now that seems to have disappeared. I love this drug! Being cautiously optimistic though!!

I have had IBS for over 25 yrs. and this is a miracle drug. I am aware that there are some risks that come with this drug, but I am not willing at this time to give them up. Recently I have been diagnosed with colon ulcers, but my doctor assured me that it is not from taking Lotronex. I have researched it and I will continue with the drug. I have my life back again....

I've had IBD for several years and nothing hepled until Lotronex. It's almost perfect. I'd recommend this to any who need help with chronic diarrhea.

This medication needs "carefull" management by pts themselves. I was perscribed 0.5mg and told after a week, I could up the dose to 10mg. I take 1/4 to 1/2 of 0.5mg daily and it's a wonder drug. My IBS in 30yrs has never been so controled.

Allowed me to live a normal life instead of publicly losing control of my bowels in markets, malls and anywhere else diarrhea struck.

I have been taking Lotronex ever since it came back onthe market - I think it was 2005. I haqd also aken it before it waqs removed. I call it a miracle drug for me.I would like to know if there have been any reports of it losing effectiveness after 5 years which seems to be happening to me. I am aking two 0.5 maybe I need to go back to 2 of 1.0.

I have been taking this for more than 2 years. It has been great...but losing my insurance so I don't know how I will pay for the $800 a month cost.
