Post Date: 8/23/07 3:37 pm I'm 28 months post op and in my 28th month of chronic constipation. After trying EVERYTHING else and having nasty, invasive medical tests to rule out physiological reasons, my doctor has prescribed Amitiza. It's not a laxative exactly but it works like one and isn't habit forming and your body doesn't become "used" to it. At least that's what the doctor tells me. I know Zelnorm was taken off the market and I'm a bit leery of trying this at the same time I am desperate to do ANYTHING. Anybody here have experience with Amitiza?
