:confused: I had a laparoscopy on Monday and was prescribed loratab 7.5. I have not had a bowel movement sense Sunday and today is Thursday. I have taken 6tbsp of milk of magnesia and nothing still. When should I start to worry? Any advise of what else can get it moving?:confused:

Lortabs are very constipating, try mixing prune juice with your milk of mag, there is also senna, sennagen, colace, mag citrate, etc. If you haven't already I would quit taking the lortabs for a while if you can handle it. Also tylenol is constipating so don't use that as a substitute trying to back off on the lortabs. I would also suggest that you see your doctor, he may be able to prescribe you some lactulose, and you don't want to get to backed up.
