Linzess - 2 Months Of Diarhea Ending With Nausea

I suffer from trapped gas in my left upper quadrant. difficult to have good bowel movements except with coffee, been that way for years. Doc put me on linzess 145 once a day - immediate and severe diarrhea but I was actually getting to a point of feeling "empty" - I suffered through 2 full months of this diarrhea until getting a bad bout of nausea and have stopped it cold turkey. Now I seem to not be able to "empty" my colon and get relief. I've also had muscle aches and gagging type of nausea recently. Even after 7 days I still feel those symptoms. Went to the ER to check for blockage and they found none (which is good) but that leads me to blame the linzess and question if it might have withdrawal side effects for some people.

Hello, Brian! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problems you've had.

All medications risk causing some withdrawal effects, if stopped abruptly. Thus, for a medication like this, it is highly possible that it could cause constipation, once you stop taking it, as explained by the FDA. The aches and nausea may also be due to stopping it, but only your doctor can say for sure.

Have you informed your doctor of the problem, yet?
