Is it ok to take ispaghula husk straight for 15 days as my antidepressant course is for 15 days and it causes constipation everyday?

Psyllium: can cause a problem if not taken with sufficient water. It can harden and get hung up in your throat or esophagus. Other than that it is relatively safe. Follow the instructions on the package. I wonder, however, why you would be taking an antidepressant for only two weeks....
