Hello and Welcome. I was out of town for the weekend and just read your post. I also have problems with depression and anxienty, my doctor recently switched me to Lexapro, and this does seem to be helping. A lot of those types of meds can make constipation worse. I take 8 fibercon a day and they don't seem to make me more gassey or bloated. I do take Mira-Lax everyday, and although that does cause me to be more gassey and is the only thing that keeps things moving for me. As someone else mentioned, cutting back the dosage will help some with the gas. I have tried to stop the mira lax before and nothing moves through my system, so I have resigned myself to the extra gas it causes in order to avoid the severe constipation I get without it.

Taking it one day at a time.....
