I can't use the bathroom. I am kind of worried that this will make me very sick and I do not want to be sick again! I have taken something to help but I have been missriable all day. I don't want to do this anymore. Crud..... sad

S2S,

If it has just been one or even two days, then I would say that you don't have to worry at this point.

I am assuming you took a laxative. This should work by tomorrow surely.

If not, you can call into your doctor for further advice.  In the meantime, drink lots of liquids!

If you experience fever, extreme pain or nausea/vomiting go in to be seen right away. I am sure that you will be fine, but you don't want to ignore any of these unexpected symptoms. (just to be on the safe side, I mention them)

Wishing you relief soon!

S.C.

Thank you S.C I am so backed up and scared that these won't work. I hate this. I just wanna "go". I don't think that's asking too much.

No it is not...

Since you have already taken something, you should wait it out and not take anymore for now...

...but in the future, you may want to try psyllium, which is a stool bulkening fiber. Also Colace, which is a stool softener. Both of these are natural helps in being regular.

This could be a side effect of the Amitriptyline, I'm having to contend with this as well.

Sometimes lemon in warm to hot water will really help.

Thank you everyone. I am tired from all the dreams and from the pain of yesterday. I hate this, I may stop the amitrip and see how that goes.
