I take 300 mg of Luvox and 3mg of Risperdal daily. I also have constipation so bad that I have to use enemas to go. I am just curious if anyone else on these meds has had constipation so bad.

this is common with these medications. you can make dietary changes but if need be you may take an over the counter stool softener

This is a side effect but instead of using an enema, try increasing water, increasing fiber in foods, and take a fiber in powder or pill form. Enemas have a side effect you don't want to deal with if you use them too many times.
Talk to your pharmacist for other suggestions.

there is a new yogurt on the market which will fix it if you eat it once a week... contains b.regularis if I recall correctly. Had a friend who used and it worked within two days.
