I have been on Linzess for about 2-2 1/2 months now. I take it for severe and chronic constipation, along with a couple other meds (mostly laxatives) for the same problem. I take 290 mcg in the morning about 30-60 minutes before any food or other meds. To be honest, I don't really think it has done anything for me. On the positive, I've really had no side effects from it!
I did however, recently find out that I have LOTS of nerve damage to my colon and stuff, so meds are never going to be able to fix my problems. I'm currently undergoing some tests to determine exactly how bad things are and what kind of surgery I need. I will ultimately end up with an ostomy. Ok, that was more than you needed to know. Sorry. But that's where I'm at.
How has the Linzess worked/not worked for you? What were your symptoms?
Hope it helps!
