How many days can you be constipated when on clozapine before you should worry? I’m two days without a bowel movement…
Take it pretty serious. People can die from that. Go to the ER if you have to.
Im on doc-o-lace and sena for constipation because of clozapine… They tend to help…
lol i used to go every 5 days when i was on lithium…
Now days i go 2-3 days lucky i got off lithium!!
Laxative didnt even work for me
Are you treatment resistant? Why clozapine? Is it good?
I’ve been taking laxido since yesterday evening I’m going to see if it works overnight…,
I’m on clozapine and am never constipated. But I eat a lot of fruit and veggies and Chinese food
Magnesium oxide works pretty well to get things going. 400-800 mg will probably work. Big glass of water with it. Take it before bed, should go in morning. I take it when things slowdown too much. You can take it daily too, not addictive. Osmotic laxative, not spasmodic.
I’ve gone as long as a week on some meds, like Risperdal pills. I would just take some Milk of Magnesia and that would take care of it. I don’t need to do this anymore now that I’m on Risperdal Consta injections.
Lithium made it easier for me to go. It does for most people.
I have been weeks .
Once a week if I was lucky but it was not a good quality or quantity that came out.
I am on laxatives daily but have been at least three days with out now.
My dr said to keep taking laxatives.
Lactalose given for that
I am on clozapine 325 mg but I eat fibre diet
Blueberries are good
Wholewheat cereal
Fruits and vegetables
Also it’s important to drink lots of fluids
I don’t really get too constipated
Hi please be aware that clozapine induced slow gut/constipation can end badly. Please bring this up with your psych and doctor make sure this is monitored closely, these drugs aren’t always as safe as we’re told
I’m starting clozaril this month. So this worries me a bit.
Just eat loads of veggies and fruit. I’ve been on clozapine for years now and I poop all the time
I have had constipation since 2 years cuz of clozapine.
I dont have constipation on respridal…!!!
I have constipation and think I have always been constipated.
I take laxatives every day.
When I was a vegan I was constipated then too despite having fruit salad for lunch n heaps of vegetables for dinner.
