Constipation, Chronic
"I have been constipated for the past 8 months following an injury that left me with two broken vertebrae.  Nothing seemed to help. Went to GI and they ordered a scope. Started me on Amitiza.  I had been taking Miralax and Ducolax as well as the occasional stimulant laxative.  The day I started on Amitiza I destroyed my bathroom. Very few side effects.  I take the 8mg dose. People that complain of bad side effects are probably taking the higher dose.  It&#039;s literally like the scene from 300 where the Spartan kicks the Persian in the chest and he falls down the well. It&#039;s like Amitiza is doing that but in my colon.  "
