Imodium now on druggie list

I need/use 6 to 8 Imodiums caplets or capsules per day. I lost my entire large intestine/colon to C-Dif. I was fortunate to be reconnected with the small intestine directly to exhaust. The Imodium controls the water and solidification of the feces. Without it would have to get my mail on the can.
My point being I use and need this over the counter item every day and will have to the rest of my life unless something new is developed
Most have heard of Imodium and more than likely used it for diarrhea from time to time. Somewhere around the 12th of February I went on line searching for prices and sources for Imodium. Saw some prices at Costco, going there tomorrow will pick up some
During the search came across an item saying the druggies are now using it, as I briefly read it something about it helped to come off a bad high and it was also being used for getting high. Don?t recall which common drug was similar to cocaine or heroin or something. My thought those buzzards won't leave anything alone. Oh yea the dosage they took was 50 to 300 to get high. Would think anything over 100 would need an air hammer on the can.
Went to Costco next day, great price, picked up two packages of Imodium off the shelf. Checking out the lady said sorry can only sell you one, almost fell over, Costco was only CYA somewhere it came down sales are restricted. Ok no big problem
Week later at Costco and while their pick up a second package of Imodium, it was not on the shelf. Had to go to Pharmacy and pick it up paying separately at the time rather than the main check out
Guess the druggies struck again, is nothing sacred the druggies wont inhale, swallow or shoot. A simple everyday item what next.
Don't know if other sources are reestricting sales, if not wont be long they will have CYA

I am still working towards getting the ostemy reversal surgery.
They left enough after they removed the tumor / resectioned my lower gi tract to hook things back up.
But since I died on the table last time around and have massive internal scarring and damage from the radical radiation treatments the surgeon will not open me back up until my one year from surgery anniversary (five more months cancer free and they say they can or will do it)
I learned about the drug addict connection the last time I was hospitalized - also learned that addicts are using diphenhidremene (allergy and cold meds - think benadryl) to enhance and extend their high...
Maybe with a scrip from your docs you can get what you need from somebody like mckesson like mail order like I use for my medical supplies.
Or maybe they can get you a scrip only higher dosage or alternative (I have a scrip for 600 mg and 800 mg naproxin so I can take one pill and avoid the retail package and mark up)
I hope something I have said is helpful or can be discussed with your docs.
You inspire me because you have had the plumbing reconnected and I still am hoping to get there.

Of course the odds say the cancer should be back before then.
Mike
But I have a ridiculously high tolerance and what they call a intractable high level persistent pain...
I took one time release MS contin 60 today and maybe 300 of naproxin cause I hate the pain meds.
I mean hate.
Mike
But be aware, docs aren't used to writing these types of prescriptions so tell your doc exactly what you need. For example if you usually buy two packages of 36, tell the doc that, and that he needs to write the prescription for a quantity of 72.
If he writes it for, say, 50, when it's filled they will hand you a package of 36 and tell you they don't sell partial packages of over the counter meds ..... and they won't round up. You can guess how I know.
Best of luck to you.
Another reason for the over the counter is I have no concern about inventory. In the past have seen it get so screwed up you wonder what planet the people you are dealing are from. Also if the insurance gets excited about the number at one time and temporarily get shut off I have a supply.
I have been in the situation were they will not or can not fill my scrips and it's a holiday weekend or someone is unreachable or a mistake is made.
I have ordered supplies and had a five day supply of something arrive instead of a 30 day supply because of a series or comedy of errors.
I can only offer you my hope and prayers at this point if my suggestions have been tried or proved futile.

If we wanted to get high,,we would use what the good Lord intended for us to use..
VODKA!!!
