"My daughter has autism and has had constipation all her life.She has always been on medication for her autism. Motegrity has her making a complete bowel movements but her behavior has become erratic. She is anxious and is having compulsive behaviors. I'm going to stop motegrity for a few days and see how she acts. If her behavior improves I know it's the motegrity. A shame because it is helping her. I'm only giving her 1mg."

"I have been on Motegrity for over a year and it worked great for awhile and lately I have had problems with feeling jittery anxious and depressed. Feeling jittery and anxious is the worse. I have gastroparesis and also on Famotidine Promethazine Lansoprazole and Motillium so it may be a combination or the Motegrity"

"Worked for 3 days and then back to constipation. Also seemed to not mix well with my anti-seizure drugs. My previous seizure drug had caused a particular type of seizure and depression. I haven’t had those problems since I switched off that drug but experienced both in the past week so I am going to discontinue use."

"I'm on day 3 and so far it works great. Linzess and Trulance worked a week and stopped, so the jury is out for the long term. The only side effects I have experienced are mild dizziness and back pain. And one strange one, which may be the cause of the loss of appetite. Things that should not taste salty do. That started today. Grapes, French toast so far. I hope that goes away with time."

"Motegrity worked as soon as I started it. It is the only medication that has ever worked, it changed my life. I can eat regularly. I've stopped taking harsh laxatives. I'm regular and comfortable. Best medicine ever!"

"I was on Linzess for several months. It completely took away the abdominal pain and for several weeks I had severe diarrhea. Then, it settled down and things seemed to improve but a month later, I was having maybe 1 bowel movement a month. I switched to motegrity, it's been 2 weeks of misery. Headaches everyday, abdominal pain, and bowel movements are more frequent but painful. I'm so disappointed. I will stick it out for awhile longer and hope it improves."

"I wanted to share my story as I just took my first dose of this medication tonight. I'm crossing my fingers because nothing else has been effective, and I am currently down to 107 pounds at a height of 5'5". During the lockdown, I was exposed to toxins in a home I had recently moved into. After four months of being there, I experienced a wide range of symptoms, including severe Gastric Emptying Delay and dysfunction in my colon. Whenever I eat, I suffer from severe consequences. At the moment, I'm on my third round of Xifaxan, which costs $2500 for each two-week treatment, and my gastroenterologist suspects it might be Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) as well. Xifaxan helps with reducing inflammation and bloating, but unfortunately, my colon isn't improving. Currently, the only thing I am able to eat without major issues is eggs, and even then, I have to use a daily enema. I also have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE) and have undergone several surgeries involving scopes, biopsies of the esophageal area, and laparoscopic exploratory surgery. As I enter my third year with these conditions, they are getting worse."

"I have Gastroparesis and have been taking Motegrity for two months now. I'm not really sure how it's supposed to work, I thought it would help relieve constipation and make it easier to go to the bathroom. I am suffering for up to 4 days not being able to have a bowel movement. My doctor thinks that I might have a lot of toxicity in my stomach and I have to take a breathing test. I also suffer from headaches and did not realize until I read all the posts that headaches are common with this."

"Doesn’t work! I have extremely slow moving bowels and absolutely nothing works. I had high hopes for this! I have had no side effects at all, but it just doesn’t work. Day 6 and nothing."
