TexasEddie Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I finally got my Rx for Motegrity and started taking it two days ago. The first day I took it right before bed and had trouble sleeping. I also woke up with a slight headache. I had about 3 bowel movements the next morning and felt a little sluggish. On day two I took the medications about 2 hours before bedtime and was able to fall asleep much faster. I did wake up with a mild headache today. I had 3 bowel movements as well. Stools were normally formed and not too thick. I had been on Linzess previously and that worked like I had diarrhea when it worked. I just thought I'd provide some details for anyone who might be started this type of medications. Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasEddie Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 It's early but with Linzess I was not able to leave the house until I have a bowel movement. With Motegrity it's a natural bowel movement. Also, with Linzess, I usually only had one bowel movement and with motegrity I have had around three each day so far. I have been feeling a little tired and sleepy. Not sure if that is due to the Serotonin effect or the extra energy the MMC is utilizing. Thanks.

Cynthia J Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Does anyone have experience with taking .5 mg (half of 1 mg) of motegrity? And does it have to be taken every day? I know the drug companies would love to have it taken every day. But I don't think I need it every day. Taking it once was effective enough. Taking something long term like this is not what I want to do. Also I had really bad side effects on 2 mg. So I wanted to microdose it. Thank you for your help!
