I was up most of the night with stomach cramps. I don't know if it was the ex-lax.I had magnesium citrate this morning and feelso much better. My antidepressant worked. I have been taking benedryl because I think I am getting allergic to my kitty cats. I read that it is constipating so I will stop taking them, My doctor to drink a lot of water. That also helps with constipation. I ordered some other laxatives and see if they will work.. Last night I was in agony.
