For the past 12 years I have suffered from neuropathy in my legs and have been taking Lyrica for pain.

Tmi but after you start the drink part, how long does the diarreah last? Say I drink it at 6 pm. Will it still be going at midnight? Or does it depend on the person? And the day of the colonoscopy is it still gonna be going when I get there? I got adult diapers. Will they do me any good?I start this Wednesday October 5th SO if anyone can answer by then I'd greatly appreciate it.
I was lucky the Dr. I had gave me a mild sedative with mine so I was asleep for the entire procedure.
