Has Anyone Tried the New drug Ibsrela for IBS-C ?

I have been on this for 6 days, no BM. How long did you go without supplimenting with other laxatives, before Ibsrela started working?
So the website says it can take up to 12 weeks to work, but usually starts within the first 2. Has anyone given up on this drug after 2 weeks and what did you do about having a BM while waiting? I thought this would work immediately, especially since they warn about diarrhea. I just have nothing. No cramps, no movement, no feeling about running to the bathroom. Nothing.

@phxbarb I have been on Ibsrela for 8 days, and it just started "working" yesterday. I'm curious to see how I'll do on it. I've read to take it 1 to 1-1/2 hours before eating. My doctor told me 20 minutes before...that didn't work. I think you need to play around with the timing, maybe. I've had constipation issues since I was three months old...I'm 65 now. It's a nightmare!!!
