I know that med carries risks of depression. Have you had any problem with that?

Hi plisbe,

Thanks for posting. I've had both knees replaced this year and for some reason, I've had severe constipation since the second surgery in July. But I've tried everything, and so it is "idiopathic". that just means the Drs. don't know what's causing it. Dulcolax works, but it's harsh and I don't want to over use it. I'm literally stuck....

I'm on Linzess and have recently upped the dose from 145mcg to 290. I don't think it's going to work. How long did it take for the Motegrity to start working for you? Any insight into how you got there and how it's working would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Joe
