Just so's you know, Immodium is an opioid, called loperamide. It is used because it is not able to cross the blood/brain barrier in significant amounts, limiting the effects to the periphery. It is unclear if much of it is even capable of leaving the digestive tract, limiting its sphere of action even further. Your body can become dependent on it, so be aware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immodium
