6 months agoI have been on Verzino approximately 13 months. Diarrhea and fatigue have been a real bear at times. Started with 150 mg twice a day but had to go to 100 mg twice a day due to fatigue. Two days ago I had to drop to 50 mg twice a day due to diarrhea. I will start that dosage on Monday September 2. Hoping I can return to 100 mg twice a day. In my opinion the benefits outweigh the side effects. Yes even having the diarrhea. I wish you the very best to you on your journey.

6 months agoDoes Imodium make diarrhea tolerable? Does fatigue get better with time? Was white blood cells count okay with it. Thank you for sharing your experience of 13 months.

6 months agoIt does make it tolerable. I have not noticed much of a change to the fatigue. White cells pretty much stay to the last w side.
