Question: I really need help. My PCP did not seem at all concerned/interested on the phone on evening of 12/20, my (ex-nurse) BF wants nothing to do with my up and down chaotic past behavior, of aprox 2 weeks until several days ago, 12/22 or so when I became "mindful" of side effects. I am feeling much more centered and being careful and not losing balance like I was, not real "manic" like before, but feel quite "up" in mood, could just be that my life has taken a turn for the better (a lot!) the Elavil was prescribed for pain from spinal stenosis and arthritis PLEASE HELP! PLEASE ANSWER

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your question.
I understand that you are concerned about taking immodium tablets since you are troubled by loose stools.
Immodium does not have many side-effects and considered relatively safe.
These are the common side-effects, but generally they are mild, and do not require any serious consideration, constipation/nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, uncomfortable fullness of the stomach/abdomen.
However, if you develop any of these, you may stop the medicine, and that would solve the issue after a day or two.
If you develop any other issues, or if the above mentioned side-effects are bothersome then you do need to consult a doctor immediately.
This medicine does not have any psychological side effects.
I hope this answers your question, if you have any doubts, please do write back.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Warm regards.
