A member asked:
Does linzess take a while to start working? took 145 mg twice a day for 2 days, no movement. was going twice a day before starting medication. why?

Why started?: Linzess is for ibs-c and chronic idiopathic constipation. If you were going 2x day before starting the medicine, why did you need to take it in the first place? Confirm with your dr. Why you are taking it and your symptoms. Good luck.
