"I was given Resolor/prucalopride 2mg to try to help my slow bowel system from gastroparesis. I had read the reviews on here so I decided to only take half the pill, 1mg. I took it w/ water around 11pm so this way if it did well I could sleep .I laid down & was on my phone just relaxing when about 40 minutes later I started feeling my stomach gurgle. I got up & went to the restroom. Sure enough it already gave me a bowel movement. It didn't end there.I was starting to feel nauseous. I paced around bc my stomach was becoming so upset there was no way I could lay down & just fall asleep. I ended up throwing up all of my food from that day plus diarrhea at the same time! It was awful! I'm jealous of all the people who've had the great experience with this pill but I'll NEVER take it again. I was up until 5am sick. I've laid in bed all day bc I still feel sick.If you try this, take as little as possible the 1st time!You'll be grateful u did if it goes bad!"

"I was on Resolor 1 mg for 3 months. It has been helpful for regular bowel movements. However, on 5th June, I developed for the first time a Supraventricular Tachycardia with a heart beat of average 130. Now I have stopped taking it. I need views whether my SVT was caused by Resolor 1 mg."

"Did not work. After about a week I felt so hopeless and sad and that's not me at all. I stopped it immediately and will never use it again. Definitely didn't work at all for constipation."

"The first week I took it was amazing. I was going daily, but the 2nd week and so on, I was back to my normal of hardly ever going. So frustrating. Back to the specialist this month."

"I’ve had a lifetime of chronic severe constipation from Ehlers Danlos Hypermobility Syndrome and as well as Transverse Myelitis. I’ve been on daily senna, Linaclotide, as well as lactulose for over 10 years and still don’t feel my bowel emptying. And I have such a high fiber diet but still not enough relief. I tried prucalopride only for a day a few years ago when my health was bad and at the time couldn’t tolerate the headache. But this time I read reviews from other people which suggested drinking a coffee first thing in the morning to help with the headache, and after a couple of days it was really okay. I’ve been on 1mg for just a week and have been going to the toilet every day with just prucalopride and senna, giving up the other laxatives. It’s meant to take longer to work and I’m also supposed to go up to 2mg, but I’m very happy so far with the lack of side effects and also how well it’s working."
