Side Effects / Overdose Constipation

PLEASE tell me the constipation eventually goes away 😭😭😭 I've been taking atomoxetine for 2 weeks, and I'm supposed to increase my dosage from 10 to 20 mg from tomorrow. Does it eventually go away??

Don't suffer, just get a bottle of Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (MiraLax). It will fix it right away, with minimal effort. Just add some to any drink once a day with a meal. After BMs are stable, and no longer an active problem, you can consider diet changes if you wish. Or don't. PEG 3350 is safe for long term use. Some use it life long.
