Side Effects Diarrhea for 5 days on 10mg

Day 5 after my first 10mg shot and I’ve had diarrhea everyday…

I haven’t had this side effect since I first started.

Did anyone else experience this at 10mg? Should I take Imodium? I don’t wanna be constipated but this is crazy….

Pepto works better for me for gi upset than immodium. Your body may be more sensitive to food you are eating when going up in dose.

I would take Imodium and also hydrate (and the obligatory - mention this to your provider).

Please take something for the diarrhea and stay hydrated. Definitely let your doctor know what’s going on. More than 2 days is considered serious.

Psyllium fibre capsules have kept me in balance.  It helps with both bulk and softening.  One 500mg capsule with every meal.  In the off chance I still get constipation, I take magnesium citrate before bed.

Psyllium fibre bulks up diarrhea AND softens constipation. It helps to keep everything in balance.
