[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 289440, member: 1233"] marg, the site I read said you had to take 5 immodium at once. There has to be enough to hit all the receptors and the recommended dose of 2 tab to start and 1 following up to 4 (or 5, I can't remember) isn't enough. I didn't see any info that said that it would do much to you other than maybe cause constipation, but since diarhea is a withdrawal symptom that wouldn't be too bad. Esp since it is because it acts on these receptors in the gut also. But you need to check that out for yourself, don't take my word on it. cutting back on the pain medications and esp the prednisone is always a good idea if you can handle it. I am sorry your rib hurts. When husband broke his a few years ago the codeine he was taking for the night time coughing (he had pneumonia and broke the rib coughing) did not help the pain. In fact the doctor told us it wouldn't for anyone. But he didn't tell us this until after he had started it. I hope you are in less pain soon, with-o any of the nasty withdrawal syndromes! [/QUOTE]
