^^trip407,
Please do some research on taking high doses of loperamide. Very high and prolonged doses can cause heart problems and death. It has happened to people on this site.
I have taken more than usual, I dint think ever more than 20mg at a time, and it does indeed help with more than just bowel issues during withdrawal.
Since I've learned more, I don't take more than like 12mg at a time/per day. Even then, I make sure I only duo this for the first few days. I also drink liquid magnesium citrate, an easy to find laxative, while on moderate doses of lope. The magnesium (amd potassium, took, is good) keeps your electrolytes in better balance in addition to preventing fecal impaction, which itself can be deadly, or leave you with a colostomy bag.
Theres a website with a great drug interactions checker as well, so.check....I'm not sure if I afm allowed to mention that site, but if you google "drug interactions checker" it's typically the first result for me, in the USA, anyway. Remember though it's not a substitute for professional medical advice; you can call a pharmacist, or the nurse hotline at a hospital for advice just so you know. Even these, however, are certainly no substitution for a chat with an actual doctor knowledgeable about your issues.
Please note I'm not a medical professional and you shouldn't take my words as solid, perfect, or as a guideline for what is safe. I'm relating my own personal experience only, amd adding that you should definitely do research before taking high doses of loperamide.
It's certainly helpful for diarrhea, which while in withdrawal can leave your electrolytes imbalanced, leave you dehydrated, and thats not good, of course, as you want you stay nourished, balanced nutritionally, and hydrated during wd....and always, truly.
My post directly above yours mentions the heart problems loperamide cam cause.
Be careful, inform yourself, use the search function here maybe with terms like "loperamide (or imodium, or whatever the brand name is in your area of the world) dangers" - "loperamide heart problems" etc.
On google, you might try search terms like "loperamide heart problems death" - "is taking high doses of loperamide safe" - "loperamide high doses risks dangers" - "loperamide fecal impaction" eyc.
Good luck to you, be safe and be well. Peace.
EDIT: To answer your question, in my own personal experience, it hadn't prolonged my withdrawals and has been helpful in reasonable doses. But, keep in mind I haven't taken a fuck-ton of it (usually - took moire than described above like once, then learned about heart dangers and never did again), & if needed I use magnesium citrate to help prevent impaction.....if you are a2hr point already where you are clearly backed up and are nervous about it, go to a medical professional; if you refuse, at least try drinking 1/2-1.bottle of it to get the bowels moving and out of your body ). If you are using the liquid magnesium citrate as a preventative for fecal impaction, a god swig or two a day should be helpful (guessing 1-2 ounces). I take it at night and wake up able to go, or, in extreme cases where iver needed most/all of the bottle (I.experience a condition called.gastroparesis because of a pre-existing health condition) I'll just say this: make sure your morning and possibly even early afternoon are free of duties (lol...I'm so immature.....of course I'm thinking "doodies" and laughing at the unintended pun....bc I'm an ADULT. DAMN IT.) because it is QUITE EFFECTIVE lol.
As a side note, magnesium citrate (magnesium oxide, typically silks as tablets, is essentially useless, but that doesn't stop companies from making money from our ignorance and trust in them...) is a muscle relaxant and helps with spasms/contractions. Calcium, while excellent for you, needs to ber in balance with magnesium in the body as calcium causes the opposite, contraction of the muscles.
Potassium, as I mentioned earlier, I'd also great for muscle cramps and spasms, and is god to taker for that especially if you have also lost your electrolyte balance due to excessive diarrhea.
AGAIN, I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL AND THIS I'D MY EXPERIENCE ONLY. CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND DO YOUR RESEARCH.
