Constipation side effect from lamictal. already tried enema and colon prep. cleared out but back to being full after a week. on stimulants. advice??

Constipation: Diet should contain adequate fluids, good amounts of fiber and or supplement like Metamucil. Taking a daily bowel stimulant like senokotS(follow directions) which also contains a stool softener and drinking a glass of hot(not too hot) water also helps. Hopefully you can avoid taking harsh laxatives regularly. If you have an urge and can't move, insert dulcolax rectal suppository and or fleets enem
