Senacot S, Metamucil, Fiber con, daily maintenance help..

[SweetMelissa]

Hi. I know that one of the side effects of the Phen is Constipation - has anyone tried all different remedys and come up with a favorite?

I Know what to use for a laxative - but I am looking for a safe - daily supplement to take all the time while I am taking the Phen.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

I have been taking fibercon for about the past five days now and it seems to be working ok. Preferably would like to have something stronger but unsure of safety.

I don't want to get dependant on laxatives so I'm hoping that something like that will work.

Wow! I have been taking phen for 3 days and I noticed that as well. Its good to know that its a side effect.What about headaches anyone get one later in the day?

[Determined1-- derland here I come]

No headaches but I thoughtI was going crazy repeating myself. Thats gone away. You don't think you may be overdoing the exercise do you? Speak to your doctor about headaches - headaches can be high blood pressure

Hey Yall..
Well i had the same side problem when i took phen and i found these metamucil pills they are wonderful, it is just like if you were drinking the nasty stuff except it is in pill form you take a few in the morning or more than once a day if you are really having issues and they are safe and healthy and have no chemicals all natural stuff.. i also found that fibercon works well but actually not as well as these metamucil pills.. anyways just thought i would help!

metamucil pills! awesome. I take fibercon too, but it seems i need so many of them - gets expensive. off to the drugstore i go!

thanks!

I take 2 Fibercon should I add another? 2 doesn't always do the trick. I might just go ahead and try the metumucil

Discussed the constipation with Doc today and he said that any of the supplements are fine and he also said that we could take any over the counter laxatives if necessary. They are safe with the Phen.
Just wanted to let you know if you are backed up... there is no need to be!!! lol

In my haste to send I forgot to add that he said that the constipation will subside and that we need to eat green leafy veggies & string beans
