Hi Oldhat,
I took that colozal for 8 weeks. On weeks 6 I went to 3 a day. I noticed some urgency went away and some blood but over all I can't say it's a 100% I have a dry red patch on my chin from the medication. Not to mention I get extremly tired. I slep over 10 hours and some days I wake up and just want to go back to bed. This happens more than not. I work sometimes only 5 hours a day and still after work I'm unmotivated to do anything. I know this is the medication slowing me down :(
I stopped taking colozal and went to every other day for a while and then the urgency increase and blood after about a week. So I'm back on. My GI never asked to me to follow up with her so I called her to schedule a appt (they are way booked so I won't be seen for a month or so)
Do you recommend just plugging away with the meds?
