Opioids Constipation with light Oxy use

I guess it would seem I need to take laxatives with or before I dose on Oxy if I want to continue using it?

I would take laxatives on a regular basis and/or a stool softener.....not just when you dose opiates. if you take them all the time, then they should be much more effective at keeping you "running smooth" when you do decide to take opiates.
 
^^This, although the best thing to take on the regular are the ones that are easiest on your body, stool softeners and a higher fiber + drinking more water diet.

Magnesium Citrate is the big gun. It's my last resort laxative and it works almost too well sometimes. Sorry to hear its gotten this bad for you man, but as many have said, making it a routine to eat laxatives and more fiber will make everything run better.

That, and high fiber diets are good for you anyway :)
 
Yeah, I think a main reason why it's gotten so bad and never happened before is because a few months back I moved in with my girlfriend, and our diet has been anything but good due to our demanding schedules and whatnot. I think the combination of semi-regular opiate usage and poor diet is what did it to me.

I'm hoping I blow everything out with this mag-citrate (hasn't done much yet, heard of it working in minutes) and really load up on the fiber and softeners afterword. Hopefully that will put an end to this obnoxious cycle.
 
Lol, umm, okay.

I get it now. Taking Mag-Citrate is like having the gods themselves coat your intestines with WD-40.

Awesome. I need a case of this stuff.

Indeed. I think we should put some of this information on the opiate potentiation thread, magnesium citrate and castor oil!8o
 
I have the same problem and every morning before I dose I drink two cups of coffee and sit around for 15 20 mins and you'll be fine.
