Thanks, Fharraige.
I take Lipitor too. I wonder if Lipitor is also partially to blame, now that you've mentioned it. But the constipation did get worse with a Rexulti increase, so I know for sure that Rexulti is at least compounding the issue.
As I mentioned to BeyondTheRainbow, Senna was an awful idea. When I took women's Dulcolax (which is a gentle, overnight relief), it was much better. But even still, it didn't make me regular. It just made me take a big s*** all at once. I'd rather just have something like BeyondTheRainbow suggested that makes things regular.
