Amitiza! It's for chronic constipation and it really, really helps me. It increases lubrication in the intestines so it's not a laxative, just increases the chances of success.

It's a prescription med. I get it free from patient assistance (I ask for an exemption because I have medicare but can't afford it with medicare) and they've never had a problem with that.

It pretty much changed my life; I had such bad constipation from meds and while I still have it at times it's nothing close to how it used to get and most of the time it's not a problem.
