A member asked:
If i am having constipation and not pooping enough with 400mg seroquel (quetiapine) does it mean i need to change antipsychotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May mean U need to: exercise more. If you move and walk more, it stmulates your bowels to poop more regularly. Hydrate so you aren't constipated from your meds, and hydrate even more if you exercise, so you don't get dehydrated. You want to poop minimally twice a day. Norma is 3 (each time after meals). If not, you can use bulk laxatives, or just eat more greens and roughage in your diet.
