Just completed first month

Had some constipation issues. At lowest dose. Supposed to start next dose, 2.5mg, today and am a little afraid to. Don’t want to go through worse constipation.
I go through AltRx and their site seems to be messed up. Can’t get answers there now.
Advice?
Doesn’t stool softeners defeat the purpose of Tirzepitide slowing digestion?
