Hello cyndy-cyn. I did some reading up on amitiza and I'm not a doctor, but believe you should have had some relief a few days after taking the drug. A week is far to long for this type of drug to work, and its still hasn't done so. You might either contact your doctor or pharmacist and explain whats happening. Its been some time since your question was asked, so hopefully, the problem has been resolved. Best of wishes,
