@stellacat Maybe your dosage is too high? I'm on 290 MCG and after a week of wondering about leaving home it did finally regulate. When I read up on Linzess, it stated to take it daily to work and NOT to take other stimulant laxatives or bulk forming fiber laxatives with it such as Benefiber or Metamucil.

@bb4eternity does this med come in lower dosage, or can you split the pills for lower dosage ?

@bb4eternity
...interesting comment. My GI told me to take Metamucil or Benefiber daily ....and a stimulant tea if needed as well as Linzess.
The PA had me taking all that as well as Miralax!
Ugh...I am working on myself on my own now...plan to stop Linzess after this month...been on it a few yrs...I seem to be the same. Oh well, I will keep positive with this issue as best I can.
