I've just taken my FIRST dose, and like magic...less than 90 minutes and I had the first "near normal" BM I've had in 6 years, since I was paralyzed by a virus that attacked my spine at the T12. Prior to that I had been on pain Meds for 4 years (for disc ruptures in the C Spine, pressing into my spinal chord, and refusal to have neck surgery), but I ALWAYS handled the constipation from Vicodin, then Lorcet, with LOTS OF VEGGIES AND LOTS OF EXERSIZE, distance walking, swimming, and meditation and Yoga, when able. But, after I was unable to walk, and Neuropathic pain was added to the severe neck pain...My need for narcotic pain Meds went up, and I became severely constipated. My only recourse was MORE veggies, daily fiber supplements, stool softeners, Miralax, and Docosol Mini Enemas ! Then all that stopped working, and I had to resort to "manual removal" of mini hard balls, or suffer a complete bowel blockage !! Each month, at my pain clinic, I checked the "severe constipation" box, on the Doctors intake questionnaire !! No help there, it was ignored...until I saw a TV commercial ! Thank God for that...I researched the drug on several Web sites, and asked for a prescription at my appointment 2 days ago. The Doctor had RAVE reviews of the medicine !! But had never bothered to offer it to me. A handicapped patient, who actually has LOWERED MY OPIATE DOSEAGES, and suffered more pain, just to try to have normal bowel movements !! My insurance is good, my co-pay is only $24 !! THANKS TO A COMPANY ADVERTISEMENT I HAVE RELIEF !! I will up date this review, after a few weeks ! But, I have every confidence this will help me. For those with NO or VERY HIGH co-pays, maybe you should contact the drug company, many are very COMPASSIONATE TO YOUR NEEDS, and will help with discounts,coupons etc. GOOD LUCK !!

This medication has worked very well for me. I still sometimes take some stool softeners with it.

I used this medicne just like the doctor told me and it worked within 45 minutes. I was using other bowel medications as well as over the counter for years with no release. Until today... This is magic. I feel symptoms but they are mild enough to handle. I'm truly amazed. Thank you so much!

After waiting weeks for my insurance to "authorize" payment for this drug, I paid just over $100 for a month supply (I have Medicare part D). I've been a chronic pain patient for about 10 years and SEVERELY CONSTIPATED since the beginning. I don't want to be disgusting, but I think knowing my personal numbers will give you a better idea of what this drug did/didn't do for me ... Show Full Comment

After waiting weeks for my insurance to "authorize" payment for this drug, I paid just over $100 for a month supply (I have Medicare part D). I've been a chronic pain patient for about 10 years and SEVERELY CONSTIPATED since the beginning. I don't want to be disgusting, but I think knowing my personal numbers will give you a better idea of what this drug did/didn't do for me. Sounds unbelievable, but I was averaging one B.M. every 18-20 days. I've seen every specialist in the Midwest for this problem, but no one could fix this for me. I've tried the other RX constipation meds after also having used every OTC laxative on the shelf at my local pharmacy, but to no avail and no help. I started Movantik in December and after about a 12 day wait, I finally had a B.M. Then another, 13 days later. This has continued until recently when I made the decision that I would no longer be paying $50 for each additional B.M. I was getting per each $100 monthly rx cost. So now I'm back where I started. Barely eating and in severe abdominal pain ON TOP of my other chronic pain.

I RECEIVE METHADONE FOR PAIN.80MG. AND I HAVE TRIED AMATIZA WHICH DID NOT WORK FOR ME. I TOOK A SINGLE DOSE AND HAD RELIEF THAT SAME DAY AND EVERY DAY AFTERWARDS. TRULY A BREAKTHROUGH FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER AS I DO.
