Linzess not working for me anymore - what do I do?

Update on the vibrant capsule. I have had about a 60% improvement. I still take the MiraLAX and the magnesium at night but I decreased my magnesium and I only have to drink 2 glasses of water with the Linzess every am 30 min prior to breakfast. Before Vibrant my stool never got into my colon or once it did it stayed there, so when I had a BM forced out by the Linzess and all the water it was like explosive soft and when it kicked in I had to go and go quick. Now with the vibrant I actually have a somewhat normal BM. The stimulation from the vibrant mimics peristalsis but to a lesser degree but it still provides a vibrating movement where I had none. The Linzess helps the rest to come out. It’s 89 dollars out of pocket each month but now I get my Linzess for free through Ab Vie I am on Medicare. Please check into the Vibrant capsule. I have more of a normal life with it. I take it 5 days a week, not on Tuesdays and Saturdays. For some, it may be all you need but I have scar tissue throughout my colon and it doesn’t move hardly at all on its on. Before Linzess I was pooping hard rock pebbles and miserably constipated for 36 years. I was a vegetarian and active and extremely active but the history of endometriosis ruining my intestines. Even after the hysterectomy and lysis of adhesions they just put me on estrogen and so the Endometriosis continued to grow. I should have also been put on progesterone but I wasn’t. So the endometriosis continued to grow, thus more scar tissue. Believe me I’ve been there and done that. Try the Vibrant capsule at least for two months, but stay on your usual regime but slowing take away your normal regimen if you find the vibrant capsule working.

I’ve been on AbVie assistance before using Medicare. I was under the impression they only assisted with private insurance. My Linzess is $200 ish a month. Is it the vibrant that only cost $89?
My OOP is $2100 for medication. Any help on the financing would be greatly appreciated. I’m still on the search for a working solution. Thank you.
