Did a full CT scan of abdoment with contrast, said they could see nothing wrong other than some "significant constipation." Today I'm back home and having the same painful constipation feeling I had that sent me to the emergency room in the first place. I'm taking 1/2 of my normal Celexa, just enough to ward off withdrawal headache/nausea, and cutting out the Seroquel and Lamictal for now, until I can pass some poops. I get this feeling there's a clog in there. Once I get past this painful clogged feeling, that's been going on for two or more weeks, I can start eating a better fiber diet. I think I practially have paralytic ileus, altho the docs at the hospital don't say much.
Perhaps in this case, though I don't think it should be used in the long term, and should be consulted with a doctor, you could use magnesium citrate. It is used to evacuate the bowels so a prostate and colonoscopy exam can be done. It is available readily OTC as in solution bottles. Otherwise you might have a consultation for RX barium, though that is even more powerful than magnesium citrate.
Even if the human body is never given food, the constant shedding of the intestinal walls and natural evacuation will still occur and produce small quantities of #2 eventually.
Nothing wrong with talking about #2. I wish you ... good luck-- tidings
