Hi, I've been on Xifaxan nearly 15 months now (for hepatic encephalopathy). I haven't come across any long-term effects, but I would be willing to put up with a lot to keep this one in my system!!! In addition to giving me back much of my mental function, it has also knocked my Crohn's into such deep remission that I can eat a normal diet for the first time in 26 years (fruits, veggies, spieces, nuts, you name it and I can now eat it!) I don't think it has lost any of its effectiveness over this period of time, and I hope and pray it won't in the future. This simple antibiotic has given me a quality of life I didn't think possible at this point in my life. Regards, Carolyn B. in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
