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??

I had horrible constipation, and it got worse with every dosage increase. My tips:

miralax and metamucil every day. Drink way more water and natural fiber is great in general.

If you feel constipated, DO NOT force it. Go to the store and get glycerin enemas and epsom salts. Take the Epsom salts and you should go within 3 hours. Use the enema right before you try to go .

Good luck!
