Linzess Muscle Body Cramps

Updated

Today was the first day I took the Linzess. The Dr.gave it to me samples of the med to take for constipation. It worked with in a hour. But all it was, was water. I drank liquids to try to keep myself hydrated. Unfortunately I ended up with severe leg and rib cramps. I drank several bottles of Power Aide and lots of water. I must have been having fluid shifts. I'm was instructed to take it daily. I hope I don't have same problems tomorrow.

Hello, Lynn! How are you feeling?

Unfortunately, many people report that it does tend to cause that type of diarrhea regularly, rather than actually helping them have regular bowel movements.

Other side effects as listed by the FDA may possibly include heartburn, nausea, vomiting and headache.

Can anyone else that's been on it chime in?

Took it for three days.I had same side affects. I started eating more roughage in my diet and eating prunes and juice. My system is back to normal on its own without medications.
Thank you for asking.
