I'm thinking of coming off it. I've been to the docs he doesn't seem too worried but I'm getting fed up now. So had yours stopped.?

Hello. I had the same. Dr suggested increasing the dose which I point blank refused to do and told him I was coming off it. The runs stopped thank god. I was going 8 times a day ... A horrendous experience which sent my anxiety sky high. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Get well soon

6 weeks and still got it I've got to have a colonoscopy now. But I'm wondering if it's the tabs. Seems funny that it's happening while I'm on them.!

It can cause temporary colitis. Ask to change medication and it'll probably stop

I don't know I'm going to do it gradually. I'm only on 50mg and only for about 2 months so hopefully won't be too bad. Just come off slowly.

Shouldn't be too bad. Half life of that drug isn't as long as others so should only take a few days. I didn't notice any side effects. Just relieved not to be constantly on the toilet and able to work again!
