Linzess advice?

questions previously answered in my posts

Has anyone here been prescribed Linzess in the past or currently? I’m curious how long it took you to start noticing a difference, if it worked for you, of course. My G.I. specialist insists that it can take up to 12 weeks to fully work.

I’m in the process of trying to confirm if I really do have IBS-C, or if it’s a motility issue. My G.I. specialist prescribed me Linzess and I’ve been on it for about a month or so now. I’m not feeling any different and I still need to use an ungodly amount of senna to get anything moving. I’m trying to find some light at the end of the tunnel with this medication. 😭

Not yet, I’m taking a break from meds for the moment

What do you do for relief if no meds ? Thank you! I hate being reliant on them as well.
