Evidently my insurance company approved my getting the drug--my medical group pharmacy says they have it for me!!!

My doctor had to do a prior authorization letter, and I was supposed to be called in 2-3 days, but I hadn't heard. Good thing I checked, because the pharmacy is closed on weekends!This is the best Christmas present I've ever gotten. I hope everyone else has good luck as well.

CONGRADULATIONS!!! I have mine too. Please tell me how long the "miracle" takes this time for you. I noticed that my "miracle" is not 100% effective yet. That didn't happen to me the first time though?

I have been on Lotronex since Monday evening and today is the first day I have felt like it's working again. I think that 50% of my problem was that I was worried about it working and the rest was the normal changes in your body when switching medications. (I went form Zofran back to Lotronex). My first two-three days were pretty bad - I lived in the bathroom at work and my commutes were filled with bathroom stops and anxiety.So I am not disappointed by the time it took to "kick" in, I am happy that it did. We should all try to be patient and remember that we got it back and that's the main thing.Happy Holidays to all!

I, too felt well after the very first dose last time. I'll be aware that there may be some problems with switching from Zofran, so I don't freak out.My doctor's office just called to tell me that they spoke to my insurance company and I'll only have a $25 co-pay, just like before.

This is in the nick of time, since I've been feeling pretty miserable for weeks.

I've had a really bad sore-butt IBS day today. I took my first new Lotronex pill about 1-1/2 hours ago. My whole system feels really calm now. I hope the morning brings the same!!
