That is a good idea :smile:

Coffee makes me go instantly. Hope something works for you maybe you’re not getting enough fruits and vegetables. Metamucil and colace?

Are you on anticholinergic drugs via psyche ancillary meds? Like benztropine it constipates, so do drugs that have a sedative effect.

That sounds like it needs a doctors appointment to be honest.

Miralax is a game changer. It might take a few days of taking it in a row before things get moving but it’s gentle and safe

I use a senna supplement since I was in the hospital and I’ve finally been pooping every few days…the clozapine can be so constipating that I was going just once a week.

Yes and no. Eat some TB and your next post will be asking how to stop pooping.

Punch some fibre into your diet for sure but see a doctor.

It’s really important and you need to sort it out.

500 mg magnesium 1-2 daily to relax bowels. More water, less caffeine. Would nor recommend psyllium, exlax, etc. I like Puritan’s Triple magnesium. Inexpensive and easy on the stomach . Btw I’m a colonic therapist.
