    This really makes me mad!

    I use Imodium for my IBS problems and now because some stupid people use it to get high the FDA may start making up new laws for buying Imodium. And I'm not going to like it if they do.

    I've already been through something like this with the Claritan D I take for my allergies. Because some ingredient in it is used to help make meth now every time I buy a box I have to show my ID and sign for it. And you can only get one box a month...so even if it goes on sale you can not stock up.

    There are some stupid people in this world and I for one am tired of feeling like I'm being penalized for their abuses.

    Wow! I even only used it a couple times in my life....just recently.

    It seems though that when I take immodium ...that's when I get the rapid heartbeat at night. May just be a coincidence.

    Things affect people differently Chrissy...so it may not be for helpful for you. You can always try Pepto Bismol.

    I took Imodium for a while after going through radiation therapy for prostate cancer. It was helpful, but I haven't needed it for quite some time now.
