I don't want to exercise to get rid of my constipation

I’m so unmotivated to do anything about it. What bothers me more than the constipation is that I don’t seem to care. I don’t want to get hooked on stool softeners, either.

You need to do something about it. I would recommend you to take the stool softener.

Sounds like depression.

Sounds miserable.

Maybe try something non addictive like mineral oil. That seems to help folks.

I think you’re right. I hadn’t thought of that.

I’m not sure what you could do about that though.

Lots of coffee and cigarette would help lol

When I worked in long term elder care we made The Cocktail. It always worked for our ladies that had mild constipation.

1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup Prine juice
1 shot milk of Magnesia

Mix and warm in microwave, get warm not hot. Then drink. It can work on as little as 30 minutes for some.

My clozapine totally constipates me, sometimes I only crap like once a week. My doctor gave me some magnesium oxide meds and they sort of worked…I could finally take a crap but it also caused me to “leak” poo! That was embarrassing. So now every couple of weeks I drink a bottle of mag citrate to help empty my guts.

I take 100mg docusate a day. I thought it was a safe med.

Try taking some Miralax it’s non habit forming and uses the natural water in your body to make you go. Also some warm prune juice might help. Happy pooping :rofl:
