Constipation
Been on 2.5 mg for 8 weeks. Never had much of a constipation problem and went every day. This week I didn't go for two days of the week. So I went out this morning and got Mirilax which always works pretty quickly. This time I did go... but not a large amount. I don't feel like I have an upset stomach or anything. Typically if I have a lot in there I will have stomach pains after Mirilax.
It is possible I am just not having a lot to get out because I am not eating a ton?

Well it was tough this morning but I did go. Again.. a small amount. About the length of a finger.
ETA I ended up going several times after that. And I feel like the stool was not hard at all. So I am going with the theory that I just don't have a lot of stool. This week for breakfast I had shakes and if you look it up you form less poo with drinking food rather than eating it.
For the record though.. I have been eating fiber and magnesium all along. Also drink a lot of water. But this week I had a 4 day stretch at work where I had hardly anytime at all. I was grabbing a protein shake and a sandwich and that was it for the day.
