constipation, chronic
"I have been on amitiza on and off for 5 years if not more. With a combination of IBS and opaids from pain management. I realize today that I am so much better without amitiza.  As of today i am stopping this. Amitiza causes my BM to be sooooo hard that I might only go once or twice a week if i am lycky. And get just a little balls.  Maybe once a month diarrhea. The worst part is when I do go a larger amount it is so hard I can break the toilet. More od a baseball. Sorry TMI ...At least when I am not taking it I still go once or twice a week but it's not so hard and little balls. I do notice Alli  works for me my insurance won't pay for it but its only $60. But my copay for amitiza is 30. Now I am stuck with a 3 month supply"
