Constipation, Chronic
"I was prescribed  145mcg of Linzess 10 minutes before breakfast.   My first dose resulted in severe diarrhea for the rest of the day.  I have since learned to divide the dose in half and taking it every other day.  Since doing this my experience has been great.  I usually will have two or three very loose BM&#039;&#039;s within 2 or 3 hours and then it&#039;s over.   I am very happy taking this medicine because I have gotten seriously sick from my chronic constipation.  Now I can take Linzess as I need it.  Dividing it is a chore because is such a small amount but since my insurance won&#039;t cover the 72 mcg dose I have no choice."
