Due to my medical circumstances, I'm wondering if I may be able to get a legitimate prescription for meto (to use for the SN method), and if so, how I should go about convincing my doctor to prescribe it.
A couple days ago, I had to go to the emergency room due to severe vomiting, profuse sweating, and fast heartbeat. The doctors determined that I was extremely backed up and constipated, which had caused me to get sick. They gave me some treatment while I was in the ER to cleanse my colon and it worked a little bit, but since getting discharged, I have become constipated again. They prescribed me a mild stool softener which doesn't seem to be working. Before this incident, neither me nor my doctor knew about my digestive issues. Based on the symptoms I've been experiencing lately, I think I have very slow digestion/gastric emptying, maybe gastroparesis, which is one of the conditions that meto is supposed to treat (I read that it can help speed up gastric emptying and is often prescribed to patients with gastroparesis). Furthermore, meto is an antiemetic, which I could benefit from since I often get nausea and vomiting. A couple years ago, when I didn't have digestive issues, I was prescribed Ondansetron for nausea, but I can't take it now because one of its side effects is constipation. Meto doesn't have that side effect, so it would be a better antiemetic for me. Would it be possible for me to make a legitimate case to my doctor to prescribe me meto? If so, how should I go about it? I live in the US by the way.
