hello all,

sorry about the disgusting thread but this is starting to worry me, i'm starting to get lower back ache which i think is due to the constipation.

i've been using opiates nightly for the past week or so at relatively high doses.
(600-700mg DHC, topped up with oramorph)

it's been around 3 days since i've been to the toilet, i take senna daily, along with dulcolax in the evenings. i've tried prune juice and that still isn't helping.
i drink at least 3 litres of water a day as well, and eat a relatively healthy diet.
i've also been taking magnesium and fish oils, still, constipated the hell out of.
i've taken some fybogel today and still no bowl movements.

i take dexedrine daily - this usually helped my constipation problems but in fact this time it hasn't. i think its because i'm using oramorph sometimes.

is it time for an enema? i have micralax, or should i continue to wait it out? i also have laxido solution.

i am going to use opiates for the last time tonight in a few weeks.

cheers for the advise
 
I strongly suggest you stop taking those all the time. They are not meant for frequent use!
If you take laxatives often they will become more and more ineffective, do damage to your body, and cause dependance(in other words, constipating you in the long run!).

Now then, I have gone much longer without... you know. Don't worry, your body won't keep it in forever. I think an enema is an emergency plan, and you certainly don't need that, since - while healthy people should go once a day(they even narrowed it down to "early morning" - weird right?) - it's not uncommon for a regular Joe/Jane to go every few days(even just weekly or biweekly). Oh & when it comes, expect cramps. I never naturally get the "gotta go #2" feeling really anymore, just cramps and grumbling noises.

If you wanna get things going, just try and take your dose(& I mean the drug use, not the laxative(s)) earlier and wait before taking it next time. The withdrawal of course will begin to come on, and in the very beginning of it(before it gets really bad at all), I guarantee that if you do indeed have to go, you'll go!

Best of luck to you. If you need me to clarify let me know. I'm fully aware that I can be confusing sometimes, what like with the way I explain things/how I type stuff out!
 
well - i took the dulcolax one night and the next day i managed to squeeze it out but i'm pretty sure it caused me some damage down there as i was bleeding, and my stomach was cramping like hell.

since then i've just been sticking to senna. it's not really doing the trick. i guess i'll continue to wait.

opiate withdrawal hasn't really set in for me as i've only been using for a week - i guess after a day or two of not taking em i'll be shitting constantly.

would diazepam help relax the muscles down there?
 
I tell ya - I struggled with that for months. the doctor told me to get dulcolax suppositories. I would take one of those every 2 - 2 1/2 days if I hadnt gone. And wow - worked everytime within 15 or 20 mins...made it less painful and easier. All around worked for me fantastic. I even eventually quite everything else I was taking for constipation (other than drinking water and eats fruits) and just took that every few days if I hadnt gone - worked every time and doctor and pharmacist said it was perfectly safe to take that way.
 
Glycerin suppositories might be your best option it's hard, impacted stools you're struggling with. Draw down water from the colon to soften the stool and lubricate the rectum making them easier to pass. Might be preferable to stimulant type laxatives like Dulcolax that induce peristalsis to try and force out a stool. Should be available OTC for not a lot of money in any pharmacy.
 
lol line of blow. have you tried doubling or tripling your magnesium dose? works well for me and i can get very constipated sometimes. I usually have a smoke first then i can poo okay but the high dose magnesium really makes it less of a struggle.

Probably not.

You should take one capsule of chelated magnesium, mine contain 300mg. You could try docusate sodium but it's not for regular use. Neither is senna, stimulant laxatives are addicting and are not the answer because they lose effectiveness.
 
for some reason i find zopiclone really relaxes my butt muscles and i can poo much easier after taking it. Not that i recommend it.
 
chelated magnesium? is that the same as sulphate? i have epson salts, and ZMA. taken 417mg of magnesium so far, no luck. i just tried a micralax enema, no use at all either. seemed as if i just passed the liquid out even after holding it in for 30 minutes, liquid was browny coloured - i'm pretty sure the stools are soft, just can't fucking get them out.

only been using the laxatives for about 4 days now. they haven't really been of much use though.

the only time i managed to get a load of crap out of me was after i'd down a protein shake of cyclone and some physical exercise, it was tough, and i'm sure i suffered from a fissure, but it made me shit. maybe i should do the same? the night before hand i had taken dulcolax though.

i've been puffing away on an e-cig for the past few days too. could that be making matters worse?

i still smoke normal cigs too. but probably from puffing away at endless amounts of niccotine cartridges could have made my matters worse?

When you go PUT your feet on the seat and SQUT this is naturak andeasier on you.

I hgave wrote this adcice and thers 100's thimes.
 
PLEASE DON'T SNIFF OR SHOOT COCAINE IF it's that baad, I did a speed ball and the COCAINE pushed with pain lucky the OC never stopped just numbed pain. I would love to of fushed that block out abd weighed it.

Seriousky mate since then I BLEED all the time so think twice before listening to other people,
 
straining real bad. i got myself some fybogel today - 3.5g of ispaghula husk per sachet. hopefully should start to work tomorrow.

drink water and use 500-650 what? sorry

like i said the only real relief i got was after a cyclone maximuscle shake. possibly lacking potassium?

i'll try upping my senna dose, perhaps it could help.

i'm on a daily prescribed dose of stims that have helped me for 11 months now - opiates are just for fun sometimes.

i'll go and try the squat method now actually.

by the way, are you fucked up on something? your spelling is all over the place haha.
