Hi, I’m a 30 year old female. I’ve been taking Cymbalta to treat depression for approximately 3 weeks and the past 2 weeks I’ve been experiencing chronic constipation. I don’t seem to have any urge to go to the toilet and I can’t make myself go. I ended up taking a laxative about 6 days ago and that helped, but I’m back to suffering again now. I obviously don’t want to take laxatives too often so I’ve started ensuring that I drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fibre, and avoid dairy. I’m also considering buying some prune juice today and I’ve read that taking magnesium may help? Would you agree that all of these steps would be the best way to try and help my situation? Do you know how long constipation is likely to stick around while I’m on Cymbalta, is it something that usually stops after some weeks?
