hi there ! has any one tried Viberzi for ibs-d type ??
it is a new drug just released to the markets in may 2015 and is still only in the U.S .
it is a prescription drug not one that can be bought on the counter and costs around 1150 $ so it is not a cheap one .
if any body had try it please submit your review as i consider taking it after watching my life fall apart due to ibs / OCD horrible combination diseases 😳😳😳

I was given this and I am honestly afraid to try it based on new meds always kicking my butt worse that my symptoms. And that is saying something.
As you say it is brand new and very expensive I convinced my Dr to get me free samples. I am done trying new meds for big money only to not use them after they destroy me.
I asked this same question here and do not think I got any replies as it is so new.
Might be worth a try as that is what it is specifically designed for.
I know this is 3 years later. I am now trying Viberzi however, and it's the only thing that's ever stopped my chronic diarrhea. Believe me I have tried everything from over the counter(imodium etc.)to prescription(welchol, atropine etc.) and probiotics.
Viberzi works by activating receptors in the nervous system to lessen the amount of bowel contractions a patient with IBS-D may experience.(copied from web). It is considered an opioid but without the euphoric effect.
If your gallbladder is removed, YOU CAN'T TAKE THIS DRUG. It's an expensive pill though. My gastro gave me many free samples. Hopefully it will go generic so I can afford it. All I know is after many years of struggling with this I am finaly normal. Yay!
