Constipation
"I was prescribed Linzess for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the constipation that comes with it. After taking it daily for a week with good results, I got bad diarrhea. My doctor told me to only take it when needed instead of every day. I feel a lot better now that I&#039;m not taking it every day. My only gripes are the diarrhea if I&#039;m not careful and the very specific time of day I have to take it (in the morning at least 30 minutes before my first meal... kind of a pain for a busy working person). It&#039;s also pretty expensive, which gives me another reason to be glad I&#039;m no longer taking it every day. Besides that, it&#039;s a huge relief to finally have regular bowel movements that aren&#039;t a strain to pass."
