Side effects from immunotherapy treatments can vary greatly from person to person, and many patients do find that symptoms improve over time after treatment ends, though the timeline can differ for each individual. It's encouraging that you're reaching out to connect with others who may have similar experiences - consider discussing your specific symptoms with your healthcare team to explore management strategies and get personalized guidance about your recovery timeline.

They have medicine for the diarrhea prescription not over the counter. It works as I was on it. Good luck

Have you considered a dose reduction? This will not affect the outcome of the medication but can help decrease the side effects.
