Oh man. I just got passed 2 years of chronic constipation. I cannot tolerate it. I thought Cymbalta caused diarrhea. I can deal with that better than constipation. I’m so confused…. Hard decisions.

I’d try it but stop if after 3-4 days you didn’t go.

My chronic constipation was so awful! I agree-I would rather have diarrhea! After my recent colonoscopy, the gastro told me to start Metamucil daily. I can say it has helped dramatically! It’s still not as easy as for most, but most of the discomfort has stopped. Hope it helps you! I know it’s miserable!

I have chronic IBS-C so I am always backed up. I'm also on iron for anemia. I live in various states of constipation. Add in Gastroparesis (which requires a low fiber diet) and CRPS and lots of damage in my back and my life is miserable if I let things get out of tune. I take a low dose oxy and duloxetine (90 mg) and Pregamblin. I noticed the Duloxetine helps with my nerve pain but causes me to be tired all the time.
