Irritable Bowel Syndrome
"I was diagnosed with IBS after a long, painful battle with RLQ Abdominal pain. I was prescribed Linzess. Before I took Linzess, I could go to the bathroom every single day, multiple times if I needed to. First day of Linzess - cramps literally DOUBLED my original rating of an 8 on a 1-10 pain scale, 10 being worst pain in life. Was in complete agony until it wore off. Couldn&#039;t go to the bathroom at all. Second day of Linzess- cramps literally TRIPLED my pain. I&#039;ve been in bed crying because I can barely talk because I&#039;m in so much pain and yet, still no bowel motion. Not only is this medication making my pain much worse, it also caused me to become constipated because I wasn&#039;t constipated before. I will NOT be using this medication again."
