Linzess Lost Its Effectiveness For Me
(Newest replies first)

Hello, I am taking the 290 and it has been about 1 month and a half taking this. The first 2-3 weeks were amazing and it worked. Great and now I am not going at all. Very hard to push and very bloated! Will it start to work again? I need some relief

Then go back to your gastro. It totally stopped for me !! You can take Ducolax but then it's the Ducolax that is working maybe switch to amitiza I'm in the same boat and I got dependent on laxatives so I'm headed to the Gastro again and demanding answers and more tests not more laxatives you will become nutrient deficient like I did not good

Hello, Linds! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having.

Many people have reported experiencing this same thing, it seems to work great for a brief period of time and then just suddenly stop.

Are you making sure to take it on an empty stomach at least a half hour before eating?

The FDA lists the typical Linzess side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, bloating and gas.
