I am on suboxone so it may be a little different for me. I have taken this medication late in the evening on and off for weeks and not much BM. But I started taking for the last 4days in an row and wow what a difference. It helped me a ton and almost seems like I had a colonic at home. Works for me. Crampin was heavy at 1st but it works and I'm so grateful! Tried everything including colonic ... Show Full Comment

Movantik has been great the past couple of days. It takes a week to get over the initial cramping, and the first day of omg out of the way of the bathroom. I recommend taking it after you get home for the day until the initial cramping wears off. Taking it first thing in the morning could be dangerous until cramping period wears off in a week.

I was so disturbed and scared by the comments that it almost stopped me from trying this drug. This medication is working for me, although it is not perfect. I do have at least 4-5 bowel movements per week. This is much more better than it was in years past. I lost 10lbs the first 2 weeks because I was no longer carrying around weeks worth of waste.

I was so disturbed and scared by the comments that it almost stopped me from trying this drug. This medication is working for me, although it is not perfect. I do have at least 4-5 bowel movements per week. This is much more better than it was in years past. I lost 10lbs the first 2 weeks because I was no longer carrying around weeks worth of waste. I did have mild side affects (a little mild cramping, sweaty for the first hour but these went away after 3 doses) the first couple of days. I would rather have a few mild side effects than waste sitting inside of me. I also changed my diet to mostly low fat organic, drink 10 glasses of water a day (the fluid keeps the intestines moving) and started walking in my treadmill, needing pain management our bodies have different needs. Don't let the bad reviews stop you, this is a safe medicine. I think our minds make things worse when we see negative reviews. Just take it AS PRESCRIBED on an empty stomach. I had a bowel movement within an hour. I now take it once a week and have 1-2 bowel movements regularly. Don't expect a magic cure, light exercise and water does wonders with this medication and chronic pain.

This is rough stuff not for faint hearted. It works great, in finally relieving constipation. However, expect 45min-1hr of cramps and pooping. So bring a magazine, phone or something to bathroom cause your not going anywhere for an hour or so. But it's does work when nothing else did.
