From Web MD-Not good, the sheen is off the poop

A further look at Linzess on WebMD.com (by no means representative of all prescription users but good for some opinions nonetheless) shows user review ratings of 3.7/5 for effectiveness and 3.2/5 for satisfaction. Those ratings are quite misleading though. Read many of the comments and even people rating Linzess 4 or 5 often include comments talking about dealing with diarrhea or other pain. One user wrote:


My only advice is be sure in the beginning to take [Linzess] when you are going to be home so that you can see how the drug is going to work for you. I waited until a Sunday morning to take my first dose and I am glad I did! It was a rumbling tummy, I had a runny bowel movement and I had to go a few times. Good luck.
