While Lomotil (diphenoxylate and atropine) can cause mild nausea or weakness, a stiff stomach and worsening pain are not typical side effects and need prompt medical evaluation. Sometimes, medicines that slow the gut can cause gas and pressure to build up, leading to burping and discomfort. Please stop taking Lomotil and contact a doctor or visit an urgent care clinic right away so they can gently examine your abdomen. In the meantime, try to rest and take small sips of water to stay hydrated.
