I've been put on Wellbutrin XL - no generics - and find the chronic constipation to be problematic. I have found some relief in staggering the dose of the supplemental Chelated Magnesium, but I swear my cat has better BMs than I do. I know that Miralax works and also magnesium citrate, but not without being within steps of a toilet while they work.
Anybody find and other solution to this embarrassing and chronic problem?

200mg Calcium citrate per night for years and years now. No problems. P

oats. the whole cut ones with the bran still on. not the fine cut ones with the bran removed. i have around 3/4 of a cup with yoghurt and fresh or dried fruit and it cleans me out within about an hour. i think it is better than all bran or whatever... the bulk of the oats seems to get things moving... sorry for the graphic. but i used to have fairly chronic problems until i discovered this.

Thanks, you two. It's such an embarrassing problem and this medication does seem to be working. It just throws my bowels into paralysis.
