A member asked:
If i take lyrica (pregabalin) and i feel constipated can i take a stool softner to help with that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes yes yes: A common side effect, needs treatment with softeners, perhaps laxatives too. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is a reliable choice, now otc, but try a healthy diet, exercise and fiber supplements as well to combat the constipating effects more 'naturally' too!
