Whats the best laxative you guys have used to combat the constipation that comes along with being addicted to opiates?

I feel that shitting as little as I do cannot possibly be healthy, and I know for a fact that it is reccomended medically to shit at least once/day, which most opiate addicts do not do at all

So whats the best laxative u guys have used that works the best?

PS I dont want to use a suppository that I have to stick up there
 
Dulcolax is pretty good, but if you mix it with natural laxatives it is even better. Take the recommended dose of Dulcolax (maybe even a bit more) and drink it with plenty of prune juice. Up your daily fiber with lot's of bran. It will also benefit you to add that tasteless fiber additive into your drinks. I followed this regiment and it worked really well for me...went from going once every 10 days to once every 2 days. The only way to completely stop the opiate constipation is to stop opiates but this is the next best thing. You should eat healthy as well...I'm not saying go on a gluten/meat/everything that tastes good diet but try to minimize your junk food intake while upping the bran and veggies. Good luck bud!


From your fellow lighter...Peace, love and all that jazz!
 
^Just ignore some of their advice about fiber after a certain point or something I don't remember unfortunately. We were going to start our own constipation OD one at some point. The HL is a good resource in general though.
 
Miralax... It reverses the "drying" process. There is a point where it WILL NOT move on its own, at this point, you get yourself a mineral oil enema, and a rubber glove, and do some unspeakable things to yourself. You can go to the hospital where they will do the same thing, but I tend to keep these things more to myself. I'm sure I'll be more gentle than they will.....
 
if your going hard, keep a bottle of Coloxyl and senna or senna tabs and take 8 or so twice each day of the bender. or drink lecithin 20 grams twice a day (came by this by mistake, using the lecithin to build my clarity back up after DXM use)

ive never had to go to hospital, but theres sure been some bleeding and times when i was freaking out not knowing what the fuck to do. its like giving birth sometimes!
 
There are only two things you need to combat such situations. Enemas and Docustate Sodium (Colace). Colace is the shit, there is no cramping, straining, or binding of the guts. It is all normal buisness as usual type stuff.

If it gets real bad, just use an enema. I don't know if you need a mineral oil enema. I mean, I suppose if it got bad enough....
 
I love the sh!ts I take after about a week long opiate run. God sometimes I take 5 shits a day, I swear.
 
Magnesium oxide is a good supplement to take anyway, and its a laxative just like magnesium citrate is (although its much...gentler).

The megathread has a lot of this info and then some :)
 
Something gentle, if you'll be using it regularly. Milk of Magnesia is good. There are lots of natural things that can be done too, like increasing water intake, exercising daily, etc.

A couple glasses of strong coffee first thing in the morning before your opiate dose is almost guaranteed to make you go.
 
Senna is a tea i used to drink and works wonders its for the soul purpose of cleaning out the pipes
 
Get some Milk of Magnesia. 1 cup of that stuff will let anybody take a shit.

Once i went on a tramadol binge for like two weeks taking 3/500 mgs a day. 1 day i went into the bathroom, had a shower, shave, piss & thought to myself, 'hang on, isn't there something else i used to do in here' & then realised 'hey, i've not been for a crap in like 4 days'!

STRONG coffee will help well too, but if your in deep, Milk of Magnesia will never fail.
 
Massive doses of psyllium husk...if that doesn't work, a couple tablespoons of castor oil(or whole bottle)...if that doesn't work then a stool softener like ducolax

I've even used a spoonful of Angostura bitters in a pinch, didn't think it would work but a friend swore by it, it did

I shoot up heroin two to three times a day so I have pretty bad shitting problems, I just went 6 days without relieving myself and started to get worried. I know its not an overnight solution but I did use the Fleet Laxative Saline Enema and it worked in less than ten minutes. all clean and empty starting the cycle again, hopefully with more prunes and liquids in my diet this time.
first post hope I didn't break a rule.
 
I take 5 5mg Dulcolax and 5 Sennakot S which I've found allows me to function normally with all the pain killers I take.

I've had problems with bowel obstruction before so I don't fuck around...I need to shit EVERY day otherwise hell is upon us.
 
Actually I take that previous post back lol.
I wasn't fully emptied from the enema.

I was getting stomach pains for a few days so I started taking colace 100mg (3-4 of them) as a stool softener then Sennakot (2-3) as an irritant laxative. did this for two nights and third night totally emptied myself after two weeks of random small half ass shits. no pun intended.

felt so fucking good and relieved after that. I was higher off the happiness from relief than I could get off opiates lol.
