Anyone taking (or have taken) NuLev for IBS? Did it work? Any thoughts?

My GI recently started me on it to help calm my system and so far I can't seem to tell a difference. My main problem is cramping and diarrhea. Imodium seems to help more than anything right now.

Thanks for any input!

I have not taken NuLev, so I cannot speak from experience.


How long have you been using it? When do you see your Dr. again, to adjust the dosage, or try something else? It's possible that enough time hasn't passed yet, for this medication to get in your system and do what it's supposed to do.


If you feel that enough time has passed, then you need to speak with your doctor again. If Immodium works better than this Rx, there is no point in continuing to take it, but you have to talk with the doc!

I was taking the kind that goes under your tongue and disolves, didnt help much at all. Then I started the kind that you take twice a day plus elavil, this has helped me alot. I got my chronic diarrhea after gallbladder surgery, it has been a nightmare.I think the pill I take is levbid, hope this helps.
