Worked for my OIC. Better than Movantik since less withdrawal SE. Definite cramping preceding BM, but relieved with passing stool and gas. Stool still hard and pebble-like, so I expect I'll supplement with MOM +/- Senna+ fiber. Works relatively quickly. Definite benefit and worth dealing with cramps. Senna, MOM, Miralax all together do not reliably work as well as one Symproic tab. Plus mechan ... Show Full Comment

Senna, MOM, Miralax all together do not reliably work as well as one Symproic tab. Plus mechanism of action specific for etiology of constipation, so physiological effects. Have to see if benefit persists over time. So far after one week, so good.

12 years of opioid pain management for scoliosis, 18-level spinal fusion all bolted into the back of my pelvis. Chronic constipation pre-dated opioid prescriptions/use by at least a decade due to spinal cord and nerve root crush. Took my first and last dose of Symproic Friday evening, it is now Sunday 10 PM. I can't believe I survived. Racing heart, abdominal pain, vomiting. Initially I evacuated, but ended up having to rely on colonic irrigation to finally empty my colon. I will be returning to colonic irrigation and stool softeners as my standard treatment. The side effects are unacceptable.

Worked mediocre for me, from the beginning. No great results or flushing of my system. A little is all it ever helped me. Very easy to take, one tiny pill 1 time daily.

This drug sent me to the hospital for 4 days. Severe abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. I thought I was going to die. Do not take this drug.

I have been on opiate meds for chronic pain for over 5 years. I had been managing my opiate related constipation on my own with some difficulty. On the 7th day dose of this medication I was sent to the hospital. I could not go but was vomiting turned beet red and blood pressure went up to 203/100. I was shaking hard and couldnt get warm w/ severe abdominal pain. No blockage found. I think it sent me into severe withdrawls. This is the day after coming home and I still have the shakes. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. It almost killed me
