I tried 145 mg. And had bad diarrhea so Dr. Tried 72 me. And what a difference. It's been a blessing. Plus some days I can skip a dose. So very important to follow directions. 1/2 HR before first meal.

Hello, @irenec ,
I have had IBS-C for years.
I was taking Motegrity and Senna. The Motegrity worked great the first couple of months. Then it started to work less and less. It actually started to make me feel ill. My gastroenterologist prescribed Linzess. Although the dosing information says to take four capsules daily for IBS-C, the doctor said to start with one capsule (72 mcg). So, I started today. I am not taking the senna. I am expecting 72 mcg to not be sufficient for me. Any thoughts, experiences, recommendations?

Do you have IBS-C? I hope 72 mcg Linzess is still working for you. Thanks so much!

Mark
