Before you say ask my doctor I can’t because they literally haven’t responded to my chart and keep saying they will call back but I literally can’t talk to a human so I am coming to reddit.

I’ve been on 25 mg for IBS since last year. I am now tapering off. My dr told me to just go right down to 10 mg. It was fine for a week now I’m heaving headaches and on and off diarrhea.

The internet says you should go by 2.5mg so I’m concerned I’m going off of it too quickly. Does anyone have advice?

My thoughts are I could just keep doing 10 but I’m annoyed with the discomfort. Go back up to 20 then taper down slowly by 5mg every two weeks. Or alternate 25mg and 10mg in a pattern until I can go down.

Any insights are appreciated thank you!

I’ve been on 25mg for over a year and one week ago I went down to 10 mg. I didn’t feel like this would change but i’ve been having bouts of diarrhea and i’m wondering if it’s related. I have emetophobia so this is super scary for me. Any help appreciated

I’ve been doing 10k steps a day for about a year now and something i really struggle with is giving myself full rest days. How often do you do them? Are the scheduled in or just if you feel blah? It’s hard for me to feel like I’m not losing my streak, but sometimes I do think it’s good to rest!
