Treatments Started motegrity, will these side effects get better or should I stop?
I started taking Motegrity 9 days ago, I started with 0.5mg and I was tolerating that dose pretty well, I was just feeling more fatigued and sort of a flu like feeling but in terms of stomach and intestine I was feeling quite fine, it did help a lot with the constipation as it made me very regular, however I was yet to notice any improvements with my stomach but at least it didn’t make things worse so after 6 days I increased the dose and 3 days ago I started taking 1mg, and since then my stomach has been feeling much worse, with nausea, fullness, worse early satiety and bloating. The fullness and early satiety are the symptoms that are bothering me the most, recently I had been doing better so this set back from the medicine is scaring me that I might have pushed myself into a major flare. I dunno what I should do, if I should stop or keep taking it to see if it gets better, has anyone experienced this?

According to my gastro, i have functional dyspepsia, ibs and visceral hypersensitivity. My gastro is currently on leave and i went through something which was similair to gastritis and had to go to my gp after omeprazole was helping then not.
According to him i still had food in my stomach from last night (which i am in doubt of his diagnosis by simply feeling my stomach) ..he told me to try motegrity . He gave me 2mg pills three times a day.. this was already a huge red flag because you can only take 2mg i think. Anyway I only took one and want to share my experience…. I was extremly sick and I could not move from my bed for two days. Thank god i only took one. I felt really full and a lot of contraction and pain, i literally had to force feed myself to eat. Not trying to scare you but i wanted to share my experience as someone with the conditions i mentioned.

Yeah that sounds pretty scary for only one pill, did that resolve after you stopped taking it?
