constipation, chronic
"I just started taking Linzess 145 mg. My doctor gave me samples to try. The first few days I didn't notice anything, by the third day I finally cleared out my intestines, which was after almost a month of not having a real bowel motion.  I actually stopped taking the medication for a few days because I was concerned I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, then started again today.  In about 30-45 minutes I was in the bathroom.  I'm not sure if I have to take it everyday or if I can skip a few days in between.  I will ask my doctor.  So far so good.  Anything that helps me go is a miracle.  I'm happy with once every several days especially because I am used to going every couple of weeks."
