Chronulac (lactulose) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Chronulac (lactulose)
Doctor told me to start at 30 ml. and gradually increase dosage by 5 ml. every three days until "your bowel movement becomes so powerful that you cannot under any circumstances ignore or avoid a daily bowel movement." He added, "You really can't overdose on lactulose because any excess amount is just expelled. Take with breakfast."At first, all it produced was a gurgling effect in my stomach about noon. As the dosage increased, my constipation decreased and my bowel movements become easier. But, at the same time, I developed pungent and voluminous flatulence that I had to control to avoid social embarrassment. At the above dosage, there is a feeling of a hot bowel movement pushed out by gas and bloating. You can ignore it for a while if you want to, but eventually the urge becomes such that you can think of little else. Finally, panic sets in and you must find a bathroom quickly because there really is no alternative.
Notheing happen and now the doctor is sending me for a lower GI. Don't you think that should have been done first. I have been in pain for 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHRONULAC (LACTULOSE): This medication is a laxative used to treat constipation. It may help to increase the number of bowel movements per day and the number of days you have a bowel movement. Lactulose is a colonic acidifier that works by increasing stool water content and softening the stool. It is a man-made sugar solution. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

My son has been taking Singulair for a year and a half. Initially, I didn't notice any changes, but over the past several months, he had developed a habit cough and has gradually taken on strange eye tics. Kids have started noticing at school. He also seems to be a little on edge and not the happy go lucky kid I know. I took him for his annual pediatrician appointment to discuss the tics and he suggested I look at the Singular that the allergist had prescribed. I am taking him off it immediately and I feel that this drug is a horrible poison. I feel terrible for not making the connection
I had only been taking this for two weeks. Symptoms started once I started increasing my dose. The Insomnia killed me. I could never get a good nights sleep. I cried I was so tired & irritable. This stuff just made me plain miserable. It did help with my ADD, but the side effects are not worth it. Switching to adderall or ritalin. These worked great before.
Prozac has been a life saver for me. Anyone who has experienced depression knows that dark, long and narrow tunnel that you can't escape from. Prozac has given me my life back and I can't say enough good things about it. I realize that not all prescriptions have the same reaction with everyone - this truly has worked for me. I still have trouble with the weight issue - my sexual drive has returned ... so has my life !!!!
daily migraines and trig. neuralgia
Some negligible tingling in my extremities just as the pain relief benefits set in.Typical sexual side effects everyone has heard about.
Excessive weight gain (30lbs), horrible night sweats, agitation, dizziness, crying all the time, lack of interest in things I used to love to do, decreased sex drive
don't think it worked for me, but i certainly noticed the side effects
Nausea which went away after first 10 days, maybe fatique not sure if it is mistakes I have made in diet change.
