@KR,

Sorry to hear about your condition. If you plan on taking an extra laxative medication along with Linzess, I would encourage you to talk with your doctor first just to play it safe with the dosing. However there are other home remedies such as Apple Cider Vinegar and Epsom Salt that might make for good alternatives.

Have you also considered taking any probiotics or digestive enzymes to help better metabolize certain foods?

Hope you get well soon!

Anytime Kr, I'm glad I could be of assistance! While I don't have IBS or colitis, I have experienced constipation on a severe level in the past and just found most natural things to be easier on my body than what the doctor could prescribe. Everyone responds to each type of treatment differently though, so I do hope you have the flexibility (upon working with your doctor) to explore a few different options in order to find out what works best.

Will look forward to any updates! :)

If you are on the 145mg you can take 2. That is the lowest dosage. 290 is the higher dosage. My doctor told me that if one didnt work then I should take 2. But only a total of 290mg per day.

I have taken linzess in several different doses starting with 145 per day, then 290 per day, then 290 twice per day. It stopped working at approximately 6 months after I started using it. I was then advised to add a dulcolax pill to the daily dose. that worked for a few weeks then gradually I've had to increase the laxative dose. At this point I Have to take Linzess plus a massive dose of dulcolax every 3rd day. Has ANYONE else experienced this? has anyone taken a higher dose than 290 twice a day? I am, at this stage, utterly miserable with the constipation and bloating. I've been living with this for 20 years and it just keeps getting worse.

Don't take more than 290 a day. If necessary give yourself an enema. I know this sounds gross, but you don't want to destroy your bowels by overdosing on Linzess.

Linzess works by liquefying poop. What difference does it make how it comes out? The point is, IT'S OUT!

I am retired therefore, I stay up late and sleep late. Today I had to be at the seminar between 830 and 9 o'clock in the morning. Took Linzess first thing and didn't get relief before going to seminar so I stayed home knowing I would not use a public toilet. Went back to sleep woke up again and got relief. What to do when I have to get up that early? Take it the night before?

Epsom salt baths (longer than suggested and with more salt) help me if linzess doesn't feel like it's worked as well. Walmart sells a ton of different ones with lavender to relax or milk and honey for your skin. I have used them all. Because your body is drawing in the magnesium I typically feel like my skin is dry and I feel more thirsty which I find drinking the extra water to hydrate helps move things a bit more. I would talk to your dr about maybe trying 290 mg. I had to increase my dose as well. Best of luck!

I took my Linzess this morning as normal, and nothing happened. Now, I'm bloated and miserable. Would it hurt to take another? I'm on 145mg. Thanks!

Go to the Dr and let them do a ct scan you may have a blockage. Do not take anything else but water. I had 2 bad bouts a diverticulitis this summer first one with salmonella. I like this medicine but I can't afford it even with insurance 80 bucks. It is miserable I am sorry
