Okay, let's talk constipation!

Posted by cgd092 on February 23, 2007, at 11:55:05

What, constipation isn't a fun topic? :)

I'm taking:

50mg/day Lamictal
40mg/day Celexa
75mg/day Seroquel

All of those have constipation as a possible side effect. And I have had bad constipation for quite awhile now. With accompanying abdominal pain that sometimes wakes me up at night. I even went to the doctor and got an ultrasound because I was sure there was something going on with my left ovary. But I'm guessing it's probably a spastic colon or similar instead.

So now I'm taking a lot of Metamucil. What else can be done for constipation due to meds? What do you guys do, when it appears your meds are causing constipation? Do you think the amounts of meds I'm on are causing this? Does one ever consider changing meds due to constipation? Personally, even waking up at night with gut pains is preferable to depression/anxiety. Thoughts?

Thanks!
