You are right- this medication doesn’t seem to agree with you. Everyone does not react the same to any medication. Trial and error.
There is another similar drug, Linzess, that I tried but it had no effect on me at all.
There are many ways to control constipation, some old and some new. You may have tried some of them already.
I used to do well with Miralax and fiber drinks but not now.
I add Senokot now and then- sometimes that doesn’t work either.
I hope other members will post to share their experiences.

Thank you so much for your response. I will mention Linzess to my Dr. I
have a history of anal cancer and surgery/treatment. Didn’t have any
problems prior to that (2012). All they’ll say is that I’m constipated but
I think it’s more complicated than that. Frustrating.
