ive been on a bit of opiates for the past few days. the last time i took a shit was on saturday afternoon, and now its wednsday night, and i cant shit, nor do i feel like i have too. i KNOW i have to though, cause i havent shit in over 3 days now.

i took a bit of hydrocodone on sunday and monday, and yesterday at 10:00 in the morning on tuesday i took 2 methadone (uknown mgs.) and now its 9:27 at night on wednsday, and i cant shit.

could any experienced opiate users help me out, please!

any kind of foods suggestions or helpful advice. i need to do take some thing that will make me go a few hours after i take it, i cant worry so much bout shittin at school as they dont let you go to the bathroom when u want except for in between classes.

anybody and anything that helps is appreciated!
 
I drank epsom salts mixed with water when I was in a situation such as yours.
btw- its suppossed to be drank- did you know that? Says right on the back. Who would have thought a foot soak coukd do all that.;)

Tastes REAL NASTY, (almost puked, but only did the throat thingy) but I chased it with straight water. It worked 'the best if I ever had a problem' before.

Seriously. I previously had back surgery and all the oxy I was Rx'd ..........dang, it was > a week.
 
Try taking stool softeners or regulating your diet with fiber. Most hardcore opiate users have a poor diet with a lot of sugar and not enough fiber and protein, which means your body is retaining more water and making your shit harder. So you should try taking metamucil or a fiber supplement every day, you can also get something like dulcolax or another gentle laxative/stool softener at the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist. There are a ton of threads on opiate constipation here, use the search engine.
 
^ i hope your search found you some relief they often can. if it wasnt suggested or you havent tried this, 2-3 shots of espresso with a splash of cream slammed will may do it.

getreal mentioned epsom salt, if you are diabetic or border line even epsom salt is very bad, even to just bath in.
 
I take either a stimulant laxative with a stool softener (senna compounds + docusate sodium) or drink some milk of magnesia.
 
Some very spicy food may also help, although it will take some time to work it's way through your system, and you may crap out a fireball.

Try drinking lots of water, taking some fiber supplements like metamusil, and also, one that no one has mentioned yet, go out for a run or do a bunch of crunches. You said you are still in school so i am guessing you are somewhat young and still in good shape. The crunches will help move everything out of you. Running is especially good at it. I'm not saying go run a marathon or anything, but i find physical activity helps me. I soetimes get it baaad from the suboxone

ewww
i wouldnt recommend THAT way
when i used to take suboxone i would take colace sometimes (stool softener), but i can't say it really worked. maybe made it a little easier.
 
maybe what you need is a good old fashion enima!! Doesn't that sound like FUUUN!!

~~gracee~~
 
whenever i cant shit, i eat a banana and drink a cup of coffee....seems to work most of the time
 
Sometimes pod tea makes me not shit for around a week. If I stop for more than 24 hours, I usually will take a huge shit. Go get some laxatives.
 
for myself I usually would drink a cup of coffee, or milk, or any dairy product for that matter and it usually fixes this problem. stool softeners also would work if you can make the trip to the local drug store.
 
well ahem..

this isn't a recommendation but i'll tell you what works for me everytime.

I shoot up 30-40mgs of Rits and it takes bout 30 seconds and i'll have to run to the bathroom.

yea, yea, i got a micron filter
 
theres this stuff you can buy at the store its real sour its called magnesium citrate.costs about 1.50 drink that and youll be shitting within 2-6 hours.dont stray too far from the toilet though
 
wait a minute, not shitting for 5 days isnt normal?
damn, some times i wont shit for like a week (without opiates). IMO what your experiencing is normal, but if you really feel the need to shit then try taking some x-lax. And if you dont want to take x-lax or dont have any, just try adding a little hot sauce into one of your meals.

PS: Expect liquid lava-hot shit if you try the hot sauce method.
 
Don't freak out, opiates can constipate you for many days. If you stopped taking opiates just wait, it will come, probably be as hard as a brick though :P.

If you continue to take what helped me when I was using daily was a plain water enema every 3 days or so.
 
not shitting for a week isnt that big of a deal, its not totally healthy to be carrying around that much garbage around with you every day, and you'll feel alot better when you relieve yourself, but u aint gonna die. just take a laxative and sit down for a while lol
