Anybody get constipated on it?
I'm on Miralax as-is and hope this side effect of Synthroid is just temporary as in "let's get my body used to this".
I suppose if it continues a call to the GI will be in line, but I hate to take something stronger if the med is causing this. Then again, I guess I won't have a choice bcz this is more than eating a few more pieces of fruit or fibre kind of thing going on here.
(My issues in the GI dept all started after a very very bad urinary tract infection that ocurred after passing a very large clot that they think contained a kidney stone about 2 yrs ago. That is why I had a colonoscopy before going on the laxative. Became irregular ever since that infection; GI thinks the flora got disturbed and just never got back to normal. All thyroid tests are normal so that is not the reason.) I am 100% normal on the Miralax and have been only on 1/2 dosing the past 6mos with success. I upped the dosing but "no go" {{wink wink}}.
I thought diarrhea was common with Syntrhoid, but honestly, I'll take this as a side effect over some of the others .. and here I was so afraid of mood swings???
