Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"I am 27 years old and have been suffering from IBS-D for years especially after I had my gallbladder removed 5 years ago. I had a colonoscopy/ endoscopy done and came back with normal results. My GI started me on chlordiazepoxide and that helped a little. Then he gave me xifaxan which made it even worse. He finally prescribed Lotronex and it was going to cost $700 for 30 days 1 mg 2x a day with the discount card. I asked to have it changed to 0.5 mg 1x a day to cut the cost. The pharm tech called the number on the back of the card and got a code to make it $5.00 for the generic!!!! I literally started crying. I have been on it for 8 days. I have a movement once a day compared to 8 times a day. ASK YOUR PHARMACY ABOUT THIS CODE!!!"
