Just to clarify.... it is the big jumps in dose... like you stated in your first post. 10mg now and then, and 30 if you really need it.
It is the 30... bit ... that is concerning. If you stay in that lower realm you should be okay (if you don't get dehydrated or low in potassium and magnesium) and if you had a starting EKG showing no genetic long QT problem lurking.
Constipation is dealt with by using magnesium supplements, and certain fruits like dates and prunes. There is a fruit paste that appears on the net now and then to cope with this.
Other options are Dulcolax (biscodyl)-- read the labels, as there are many Dulcolax's now . Or Miralax occasionally. Drinking more water when you use a laxative helps considerably. Soluble fibers like Benefiber work for some too.
But high fiber interventions may lead to impaction, so be careful with bran, or other fibers.
