Hi @angelgirl777
While taking Vimpat, I had terrible constipation having even had to go to the hospital for a bowel wash. I also took some magnesium hydroxide milk that time, but what helped me most was a daily recipe my family doctor recommended: papaya, prune (without lump) and cole. Every morning, I prepared a drink containing half papaya, some 4 prunes and cole, hitting it all in a blender (for 1 big glass). Natural and my constipation improved a lot. Hope that nowadays it is easier to find papayas in the States. Here in Brazil is a common fruit. Eating papaya's lump is also quite helpful.
Hope your husband will overcome this side-effect. Being constipated is a terrible feeling. My fingers crossed for you.
Santosha
