Hello,
For the last two months I’ve been on 24 mg Amitiza as yet another attempt to control my irritable bowels syndrome better. Since my main symptom of IBS is constipation, I can’t say that Amitiza hasn’t been effective (if not too effective - it has happened few times that I straight up get diarrhea from it).
What bothers me the most - and I’m hoping to hear from someone who used this medication as well - is almost constant feeling of nausea. It’s not strong enough that I’d throw up, but it’s there. Is this common for Amitiza?

Hello,
nausea is unfortunately one of the most common complaints people have about Amitiza. You can try fighting it with home remedies such as ginger or saltines, but if it doesn't go away maybe you should talk to your doctor about lowering your dose of Amitiza.
Even more so because you say that it has also caused you to have bouts of diarrhea. Another option would be a different medication such as Lizness, if you haven't been on it before and it wasn't effective.
