Nothing has been successful until I went to Italy and learned about Donnatal. When I returned to the States i asked my Dr. about Donnatal and he said it was an old medicine, which he hasn't prescribed in years. He gave me a prescription and my pains, and loose bowl movements have stopped. I have been taking this medicine for 3 months and now I can function normally.. now I have my life back. I reported this to my Dr. who was surprised and has started to prescribe it again with some great feedback. I find the liquid Donnatal works best. I can even drink Coffee again."

Anecdotal evidence is enough to convince you of a drug's efficacy, in this day and age? We do have better processes, such as double blind studies. Don't rely on others personal experiences/opinions either in picking medications or stocks. Processes for collecting reliable data improve over time; take advantage of that. Don't be lazy.
