What's your experience with Orgovyx (relugolix)?

Been on Orgovyx for almost a month. I have a history of slow intestinal transit but was able to manage it with OTC meds. Orgovyx seems to have made my constipstion much worse. Fear I will have to stop it. Was scheduled for four months. I think 1 month is all I can do. Maybe every other day? Will discuss with RO. Anyone else dealing with this issue? Constipation is listed as one of the side effects of Orgovyx. Thanks!

Yes. I too have a MUCH slower transit time since my surgery and no one seems to know why. Not constipated ( dry hard stool) but trouble bearing down and voiding - probable pelvic floor injury from that f***ing ‘less invasive’ robot.
Anyway, I have been on Miralax for FIVE years - it does work - and I have been using HEALTHY FIBER , which is a non fermentable, non bloating supplement available on Amazon 3X/day.
With all that I still had to get a Squatty Potty to enhance the abdominal pressure when on the toilet. What was once one of the most pleasurable parts of my day has become torture. Hope these tips are of helpful! Best
