Constipation, Drug Induced
"I started taking this med about 4 wks ago when my dr gave me samples. I decided to start out with half a pill. And it worked within hours. For years I would maybe have one bm a wk. if I was lucky. So I thought this med was the answer to my problems. I would only take it every few days and was still having a bm daily. My dr decided my dose of pain meds was to high even though I&#039;ve been taking that dose for 7 yrs. I ran out of samples 3 wks  ago and insurance won&#039;t pay so even though I haven&#039;t taken it for weeks I&#039;m still having diarrhea daily. I&#039;m not sure if it could possibly be from the movantik still or because my pain meds have been cut back. Either  way I&#039;m miserable and wonder if anyone has had side effects weeks after discontinuing?"
