Sharon,

I know they cause constipation (narcotics) but I ahve had MORE problems on the anti depressants, nad the heart rate scared me. I do not know what to do, if you cannot take what they try for you. I want the gyn to do another lap to reassure where the bowel is, but I am trying to wait a few months! FRUSTRATED!
