constipation, drug induced
"I started taking this med about 4 wks ago when my dr gave me samples. I decided to start out with half a pill. And it worked within hours. For years I would maybe have one bm a wk. if I was lucky. So I thought this med was the answer to my problems. I would only take it every few days and was still having a bm daily. My dr decided my dose of pain meds was to high even though I've been taking that dose for 7 yrs. I ran out of samples 3 wks  ago and insurance won't pay so even though I haven't taken it for weeks I'm still having diarrhea daily. I'm not sure if it could possibly be from the movantik still or because my pain meds have been cut back. Either  way I'm miserable and wonder if anyone has had side effects weeks after discontinuing?"
