Senokot (senna) for Constipation: My doctor had prescribed Senokot 8.6mg tablets, 1x twice daily as needed to help compensate for my constipation that is commonly caused by narcotic pain relievers, such as Morphine, Methadone, oxycodone. At first it was great. I had no discoloration, no bloating, it was comfortable and gentle, almost as if it were natural. However, after about 3 months my bowels did start to become lazy and my Doctor had to give me something else in which to alternate off and on with. If while on this you notice the time between movements has increased to the point where you are "certain" it has, TELL YOUR DOCTOR! You'll just hurt yourself more the longer you wait.

Senokot (senna) for Constipation: I used Senokot for about 2 years and it made no improvement, I was still going to the toilet around once a week and it made no effect.

Senokot (senna) for Constipation: First day I used it- woke up at 3 am with a roaring stomach pain, sat on the toilet for about an hour with diarrhea!
