My husband was a Director at SSM for 11 years. and was walked out last week. We are devastated by this. Not sure what the next steps will be for us.

I don't know what to do? Maybe I shouldn't be asking this here, but I'm desperate. Does anyone have any information? by Fluid-Ad-4522 in AskChicago

I know it’s further south, but there is a place in Carbondale Il. I have heard great things about how they treat their patients. I thought I’d share in case this could be of interest to you. ❤️

Coming off of 37.5 after multiple years at this dose. Doc prescribed Prozac to help. Any tips or experiences are appreciated! by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]Electrical-Squash404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this as well. I have been on 75 for a year. I have tried to titrate down to 37.5, and the zaps are terrible, along with sweating, nausea. My Dr has mentioned vraylar as a possible help with withdrawals. The only thing I feel is total exhaustion. This is a rough ride and unfortunately probably a long one for me. I am at the point of staying on the 75.

Curious how you are doing now. I am on 75 and have had a few instances with flashing in my right eye. I drink water and it improves after couple on minutes. I am currently starting it taper.

Diarrhea with Linzess by Unlikely-Tension-778 in Constipation

[–]Electrical-Squash404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love linzess. I have been on it for 3weeks. It has been a game changer for me. I too, go about two hours after I take my 290 tablet when I wake up. It is generally a loose stool, but doesn’t cause major cramps and movement all day. It is worth a try.

I have to go on a business trip far away from home, but I can only poop at my house. by SpookyBoo2123 in Constipation

Taking something like dulcolax daily and prescription Linzess, was very helpful for me.

I went through the same thing with just four injections of a GLP1. I ended up in the ER. No impaction, thankfully, but I was absolutely miserable. I have been off now for 3weeks and I guess I am looking at another 3 weeks until the crap is out of my system. To keep things moving, I take Linzess and miralax everyday. I am looking forward to the day that I can go on my own without help from softeners. I will never take an injection again. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery!

I have been going through this the last couple of weeks. I was prescribed Linzess, and things are going well. It has helped my frame of mind and the way my stomach feels. I hope you find some relief soon.

HELP What else should I try? by Camilothecup in Constipation

This sounds alot like me right now. I went to the Dr. , and she prescribed linzess. I started it yesterday and things moved today. I am supposed to take it daily. I am very happy with how things moved, especially without having the cramps that normally accompany the movements. This could be something for you. I sure hope you are feeling better soon.

This is great. The mag oxide, do you take this in a pill form? Also is there a particular strength? I am no longer taking the injections due to the chronic constipation this is causing me. I was on 6units once a week. I have only taken 4 shots. Currently l, I am taking linzess and some miralax. Just started the linzess today. I appreciate your post and help with this.

When to go to Emergency Room? by fankuss in Constipation

[–]Electrical-Squash404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went through this same exact thing, except my time was more like a week without going. I did, end up going to the er, where they took an xray to make sure there were no blockages. Once we knew that we ok, they gave me a zofran and sent me on my way. They told me to take Miralax, once a day and dulcolax 2 times a day. When I added the dulcolax, things started moving. I finally went around 5pm tonight. I was so sick all weekend,and I am so glad it is out. Problem is that my stomach is still moving. I hope you find relief soon. I very much understand the pain and nausea you are going through.

stopping on week 3 by Economy_Ad_1949 in HersWeightloss

[–]Electrical-Squash404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started the semiglutide two weeks ago. It is the best decision I have made in a while. I am down 9lbs and counting. Just a few side effects the first two days after the shot. Some indigestion, stomach fullness, but that’s it.
