I quit taking it. It causes severe constipation for me and I’ve been having to use laxative meds for the last 2 weeks every other day.
Back to my invega and insomnia but at least I could poop. Lol TMI sorry

Drinking enough fluids(minimum 2 litres in a day) and going for a walk(at least 30 minutes per day) helps me keep the digestion in order. I am also on zyprexa. I would really try that if you haven’t, because going back to a med that causes severe insomnia isn’t sustainable.
