Miss Amy,
My dr. recommended the following options (I'm on Serzone as well).1) Colacs - 100mg , 2-3x per day (OTC & non habit forming)
If no relief
2)Senokote - 2-3x per day (also OTC & non-habit forming)
She said not take the chemical laxatives as they can make things run the opposite direction; so to speak! =)
Good luck,
Sunny
> Metamucil works great. I've always been prone to constipation, I've also always been mildly depressed. Now that I'm on Serzone, it seems to make it worse (the constipation, not the depression). But I discovered Metamucil a couple of years ago and it works great. You can take it up to 3 times a day, and it is a totally natural laxative that is non addicting (it is essentially a fiber suppliment). You might experience some bloating and gas at first, but once you get used to, there should be no problem. And if you take it regularly, it can also lower your cholesterol. Also get the form that is finely ground, it's easier to swallow.
