My doctor told me to take this medication at night before bed, I did this for 4 nights with no results so I looked up how to take this medicine and he gave me wrong directions in taking this. I started taking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and within 1 hr I started having results. I've taken all kinds of medication for constipation and this is the only medicine that has worked for me. The first couple days I had some cramping, but after 2 days that cramping went away, I figured it was because I was so backed up. My bloated stomach is gone as well as the horrible pain in my low back from nerves being pinched from not going to bathroom. I highly recommend this medication for anyone that's been on narcotics and have trouble going to bathroom. Give it a chance and take on empty stomach then eat bout an hour later. I won't go without this medicine, it's the only thing that's helped me feel normal again.

This medicine is amazing! I have had a pain pump for 3 years now due to 4 neck surgeries. Prior to this medication, I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing ever worked. Laxatives only work for a short time - myralax never worked. I eat healthy, drinks lots of water and do get some exercise, all of which never helped. The first dosage worked within 30 minutes.

Laxatives only work for a short time - myralax never worked. I eat healthy, drinks lots of water and do get some exercise, all of which never helped. The first dosage worked within 30 minutes. I did experience sweating and cramping with the first bm. I have continued to take 1 25 mg/day since and have been regular, having bm's every day. I am so thankful for this medication.

I have been on this med for one month. I also have to take miralax in addition to movantik. It does not work everyday, about three times weekly. I'm hoping it will produce a bowel movement everyday, I'm not giving up yet!

After first dose I noticed some stomach cramping but after the second dose it was like the world was coming to an end. Severe diarrhea, cramping, sweats, and then my pain went through the roof that none of my pain medications would relieve. Next came the headache and after checking my blood pressure a very high jump to the point that I should have gone to the hospital but since this all happened on a holiday weekend I refused to go to the hospital and spent 3 days in bed and hoped for the best. It is now 4 days since my last dose and I know I will never take any of this again, I feel i was lucky to survive using this medication. After 8 spinal surgeries I thought I had seen it all until i took this medicine.

Took 25 mg yesterday AM and slept for 5 hours. Very drowsy. I am also a spinal cord injured person and that plays a big role in bowel incontinence. So OIC is another factor I must deal with. Will speak to pharmacist about lowering dose. Also some reviews insinuate they dropped methadone because of Movantek. Would appreciate comments from those who have done this.
