I took some pepto earlier but it's not seeming to help. Is it ok to take some immodium??

Typically, yes. The main concern is that you would get to constipated, but if one isn't helping I think you can switch. I'd just start with a low dose of the Imodium and then take more if you need more.That way if the Pepto is doing a little good you don't over constipated yourself.K.

Thanks!! I think I'll start w/just 1/2 a pill.

You won't die. I took Pepto on Friday, but when it wasn't helping and I knew I had a long day ahead of me I took 1/2 an Immodium. This is Sunday afternoon, though, and I'm still constipated. I'm surprised, though, because never before has 1/2 an imodium had such an effect on me. I expected to go to the bathroom again that evening, not still be constipated on Sunday! So it isn't pleasent... but I'm feeling fine other than that.
