Constipation ,Help
I need opinions and advice. My doctor switched me from ex lax to restoralax and I have not felt so miserable for a long time.Has anyone else been totally sick with retained fluid, severe gas to the point their back and shoulders have hurt, abdominal pain, and severe nausea? My doc wants me to take this and I am at the end of my rope hoping my body will get used to it. I sit and cry I feel so awful. It has been about a month and I drink around 3 litres of water a day.Thanks|||That is NOT good. Does your doctor know what severe reactions you are having? It sounds to me like it's not the medicine for you. You seem to have the problems they warn about on the information sheet that comes with it. Read the information sheet that comes with RestoraLax and then talk to your pharmacist and your doctor. For me it has been a magic bullet with no side effects at all - I've had severe constipation from having to take high doses of narcotic pain meds and RestoraLax has ended that completely - no pain, no bloating, no gas, no more constipation - just easy comfortable regular bowel movements for the first time in over 4 years.|||How long before restorealax take effect?|||For me it usually works within 8 to 12 hours. As it says at http://chealth.canoe.ca/drug_info_details.asp... It may take 2 to 4 days for this medication to work.(I think that means initially)I also have found that I only need to take it about 4 days out of 7 and I usually take it at about 10pm mixed with fruit juice. It is however tasteless and odourless.|||thank you for your reply. I ended up quitting it and now take Milk of Magnesia and have started a drug called resolor. Not impressed with the resolor but we have to try.I am also fighting constipation from narcotic pain meds.
