Thanks, Chris. So, it's probably the Seroquel mixed with the Lamictal. I faxed the subject to my Pdoc and she suggests going down on the Seroquel, since that's what she wanted to do with me anyway, and stay on the Lamictal. I tend to like the sedation with Seroquel.

Found on the net: "Other medications causing constipation include iron supplements, some antacids, antidepressants, antispasmodics, diuretics, and anticonvulsants for epilepsy."

I'm taking two of those, and also an atypical antipsychotic. My guess is all of them together are causing this extreme slow-down.

I, too, thought about colon health and colon cancer, in regards to chronic constipation caused by meds. I'm wondering if my pain isn't a diverticulum or something like that.
