@mister1 Hi...I don't know what dose of Linzess you take. however I do not recommend doubling doses. I tried taking it a few times before bed and sometimes before dinner....both caused lots of gastro distress. If you take a low dose, have dr increase it to next level and see if that helps.

@anniewee here in Las Vegas it’s like the Wild West. It takes over a week sometimes 2 to get a result from an MRI, PET scan, brain scan to a doctor who is just down the street, walking it over would be easier. I moved from Seattle here to help aging parents and the medical here… well not so much as the physician but the systems in place stink.

@anniewee thank you, I wouldn’t double without hearing from my doctor only it’s extremely frustrating here since they never return calls. I’m supposed to take 290 mcg of Linzess daily but if I take it every night nothing happens. If I stop for a few days then take it for a couple it will work but then I have to stop again and all I’m left with is gas/bloating.
I have what’s called Huntingtons disease with chronic pain, dizziness, falling, difficulty in walking, swallowing and everything you take has those as side effects… I always laugh saying how will I know the difference. So I’m just back at having to plan for a poop day where I don’t schedule anything accept home time. I’m hoping someone has something else they take to help?
