Everyone is different and their w.d is different. Some will experience symptoms that others won't have at all. SO don't go by what everyone else says. Yes, most w.d symptoms usally are the same, but not with every person. So you are probably fine. If you feel better passing and thus (releasing all the bad, lol) go get a laxative or stool softener...

Good luck...

i dont think i would question it nor "push" the issue....be sure to drink ur water and perhaps be thankful...i am sure quitting the pills is not the cause...if it goes on too much longer perhaps address it

Have tou tried a stool softner or a fiber pill? How much water are you drinking?
The stool is probably hard and too dry to move through your intestine enough to expell.
I wouldn't suggest taking anything other than a stool softner because the others can cause cramping while they contract your intestines to try and move the stool through the intestines.
Stool softners just add some liquid back in to the stool to make it sft enough for your body to move it out on your own.

If your concerned you can always call your doc to make sure all is okay. And if you use a stool softner and don't go then I think you should call your doc because they'll know better what to do fir you at that point.
If you develop a fever and abdominal cramping call the doc asap.
