Medication Zelnorm Pulled from the Market and Miralax Now Over the Counter

My gastroenterologist refuses to place me in the Emergency Access Program for Zelnorm. They put me on Amitiza, which has horrible side effects of nausea and headaches. I am a headache patient that has gone through 14 surgeries and millions of painful injections, wiping out all our savings to treat the headaches, only to be placed on a medicine that causes them. This is a quality-of-life issue that should be my choice. I really like my gastroenterologist, but it looks like I will have to change doctors if I have to. I view birth control pills as more dangerous than the medications of mine that the FDA has pulled off the market. Cafergot is another one that was pulled, the only medication effective for my migraines with aura. I have contacted the pharmaceutical company for Zelnorm, and they said I have to have my doctor contact them. I am so frustrated, especially because the Amitiza does not work as well and with significant side effects. I see you suffer from headaches to, so you can relate. I also have TMJ among several other painful conditions. Good luck to you.

While I did develop severe hypertension "out of the blue" last year, since being taken off Zelnorm, my blood pressure has not dropped one bit; therefore, give me my Zelnorm back!!! My cardiologist still has not said anything about this medication. I hope somebody on the FDA suffers from this horrible disorder and does something to get this back on the market. My stomach is so distended that I cannot even leave the house, and I am reduced to wearing my pajamas, as clothes are too uncomfortable.
