So yes, I've tried Amtiza, Linzess..and now Trulance.. the ISBrela is the "new" solve it all pill..and it's $2143 a month at Walgreens my copay is $321.93.( guess I'm glad it just made me sick) I have used Miralax 2 caps per day.. and it used to work until the patch.. it was for nausea.. now I take Phenergan and Zofran..I'm telling him I want a"bowel resection"..I always have a list!! I'll still have the hiatal hernia and gastritis.. and my scleroderma markers keep going up but my rheumatologist says "it's a miracle, you don't have it!! ..so I'll go with that.. he's really a great doctor ( one of the few) I might just try to Metamucil gummies.. the powder was awful.. these biscadlys make me nauseated.. but they are sooo productive!! I just hate going to ER..last time they gave me an enema and sent me home with a diaper as they were closing that part of ER..45 minute drive and no trees...if you know what I mean..I am determined to never get backed up again!! You have just been thru hell with all this (I can't insert a pic.. but you know what I mean..whew!!) I don't know how you do it!! R-E-S-P-EC-T!!!! I'm gonna biscadyl today.. oh boy!!

My doctor has just prescribed Amitiza. Based on the side effects alone, I am scared to even try it. I have low blood pressure in general, and tend to get significant BP drops upon standing and this side effect is one that I am very concerned about. For those that have taken this, what is your experience? Is it worth the side effects? Thank you!
