Can opiate constipation kill you?

BollWeevil said:
I have trouble seeing how some of you go so long with out a bowel movement. I start to get really uncomfortable and aggravated after like one day... Even with an opiate buzz... sheesh.

Actually 2 weeks ago, I went 6 or 7 days. Pretty bad, but I didn't die and when I actually started going, I was taking about 2 shits a day and it felt great!!! hahaha. Never really messed around with methadone before but damn it caused the worst constipation I have ever experienced.

But yeah, I think going about 6-7 days is the absolute MAX. I do not recommend it at all. heheh. I just had to stop the opiates and using laxatives let all that shit out. Literally...
 
yeah, it definitely gets uncomfortable when it's been a week and you haven't been able to take a dump. my morphine has been clogging me up something chronic lately and i finally had a proper BM today albeit tiny pebbles, i definitely needed the shit out of me. pissing is never much of a problem cause there's always squatting.

i start to get the ethiopian looking stomach:\

Yeah the bloated stomach is definitely noticeable. I just had to stop the opiates so I could take a dump. It's not worth it for me to keep going and no be able to shit for more than 6 days. I guess I'd rather shit than get high everyday hahaha
 
yeah definitely. i'll get to a point where i'll purposely go through the initial wd stages just so i can take a load off (or two).

being constipated for long periods of time over extended period of use has to have some consequences down the line.
 
Miralax, Miralax and I repeat Miralax will cure the worst of opiate/opioid constipation. I use it and shitting before miralax was a living hell. I am on 130 mgs. of methadone a day so I know about the opiate constipation. It is a little costly but well worth it, and some drug stores have miralax generics, obviously it is OTC but it used to be by prescription only! Give it a try it saved my ass, litterally!
 
i'm not 100% sure, but my mind just has me thinking repeating something that's not entirely healthy for extended periods of time is going to have some kind of repercussions down the track.
 
Hmm, this is the first I've heard of opiate constipation. I've never heard any of my friends having shit problems and I've never had any myself. Is there any specific ones this stands out with? I've only done heroin, oxycodone, roxicodone, hydrocodone and morphine.
 
you can totally prevent opiate constipation if you just eat a cup or two of raisin bran or some other high fiber food and drink 3 or 4 bottles of water every day. it's a whole lot easier and healthier to prevent constipation and potential bowel obstructions from happening.

Deal with it sooner rather than later. Do NOT get into the cycle of putting it off and taking more opiates to further suppress urges, because you're afraid of the pain. I used to be really stupid about this. Every waking moment was spent holding it in, it would get to the point where I couldn't sleep more then 30-40 minutes without waking up and fighting off the urge to go. After 4-6 WEEKS of this, it finally reached the point where I was unable to continue, and all of a sudden started running towards the bathroom, rarely making it, then straining so hard I thought I could feel the blood vessels in my head popping and having a soar throat for days from the stressing sounds.

After 4-5 periods of this, I realized you have to make yourself go at least every few days if not daily, regardless of how many laxatives or time into w/d it takes.
 
The last time I was binging on pods I was so addcited to them that I started eating them raw with my tea and chugging them down with GP juice. The very few shits I had over the weeks, when I did they hurt like a bitch to come out and looked like a fucking snake in the toilet. It was truely disturbing. I take metamusil or hemp oil now if I choose to do pods, which I defiantely do choose to do, sometimes. :)
 
Constipation has to be the most annoying side effect of opiates for me :/

I went 6 days without a bowel movement when I was smoking Heroin a couple months ago and that was pretty damn uncomfortable.

Lately its been Dihydrocodeine but I make sure to take regular breaks so my body works normally again. The thought of going 6 days or longer again is enough to put me off daily use (that and addiction).
 
I do codeine probably 5 days a week (which i know is hardly hardcore but still...) and i find that taking a barrocca (which is a multivit that disolves in boiling hot water) first thing each day really helps.

Im a crap crapper too, even without any Codeine!
 
It fucked me up i didn't shit for 13 days and went to the hospital and they had to do surgery NOW had a wire growing in and round & through my small intest. and they cut out a lot of my small intest. Now i had 3 wire growing Pleasent shit here. The doc really told me I was full of shit.. ;)
