Medication

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone I’m getting depressed lately. My Dr.has started me on high blood pressure medication. And my bowels only function once every two weeks I’m tired and get sleepless nights. Does anyone take high blood pressure medication that does not constipate them?
Thank you

Linzess

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

I had started to take Linzess ... diarrhea for approx 2 weeks took Imodium (1 dosage) while still taking Linzess ... no diarrhea. Since then I’m constipated - I did a couple days Miralax. (Still on Linzess). Still not have regular bowel movements/constipation. Is this common with Linzess plus IBS?????

Linzess has been a miracle drug for me. I never realized how much better a "normal" person feels ! I've been able to swim laps & I'm almost 70 yrs old!

Has anyone had a weight gain with Linzess? My Daughter just started and seems to be gaining weight. She is also taking miralax and benefiber multiple times a day so perhaps she is bloated?

Preservatives and DYES! Yes. Also, make sure with ibs-d to eat more soluble fiber, never eat insoluble fiber foods alone. I also take citrucil, cultures and florastor.
