Opiate Constipation

[Tri-nity]

yeah, if your gana be using for a while, then alot of water and some stool softners/laxitives are in order.

Obviously youve never had the feeling of shitting out a pineapple that comes from opiate contipation.

If it has been 5+ days, I usally go for the exlax... And yes, it does get bad.. If you just ignore it, you will be lucky with a shit that feels like broken glass as wide as a coke can.

Ahh damn, you make me laugh so hard I have pains in my side. What made it even funnier is that the description was so accurate.

If I go 48hrs without taking a shit, I'll drink a bottle of magnesium citrate (can be purchases OTC at any pharmacy). It is the fentanyl of laxatives. Why bother with anything else? Expect to squirt out a gallon of liquified shit. Takes 3-8 hrs to work.

Magnesium citrate is one of the ghastliest liquids known to man imho. I drank a whole bottle once (the recommended dose on the label) on the advice of a friend. It took about 10 hours to work but then I was in for 2 days of hell. It's all liquid and for at least 5 hours I was in and out of the bathroom at 5 minute intervals. The cramps leading up to the "relief" was the worst part -- extremely painful. I just wanted to toss in my experience to warn people who aren't familiar with the medication. Yes, it worked but I think it takes too long, is too painful and dehydrates the body to the extreme. I would consider this a last resort. Just my 0.02.
Viv.

HAH! LOL! Vivid description, Silverfucked! And right on the money.

Through painful experience I have learned to eat a lot of fiber if I'm going to be taking opiates/opioids for more than a day or two. My heroin days are totally behind me, but I find hydrocodone useful once in a while. I make sure I eat a big bowl of Raisin Bran and All Bran in the morning, and I hardly ever have any constipation. Except when I forget the fiber, then I get the shit-a-brick phenomenon. As painful as it sounds.

I use ALOT of various opiods...mainly oxy. I do it every day, all day. I still take a shit normally once a day, sometimes every other day. I guess I consider myself constipated but I don't take anything, even though I should (atleast a stool softener). Cuz, I gotta FORCE that shit out (no pun intended). Naw, I push really hard and I eat a lot of food too, its part of my weightlifting diet. Maybe the amount of food you eat has an effect. I also drink plenty of liquids. The thing is these shits I get are HUGE and hard, and takes alot of force to get them out. The only upside of this is I never have to worry about taking shits in public toilets and there is minimal to no wiping involved...LOL.

 

[kalt_kalt]

yes, mag citrate is not pleasant but neither is being constipated. All that "senna" stuff is placebo-ville as far as i'm concerned, and i'm sorry, a bit of fiber ("bulk") isn't gonna help severe constipation. Just go straight for the magnesium citrate (i prefer the lemon vs. the cherry fwiw), snarf it down and rest assured that the feces stuck inside of you will be liquified and come blasting out of you within a few hours. Shit I've had it work in as little as 45 minutes.

Squeezing *too* hard is not good for you... i've heard people getting hearnias that way.

 

[dazed her]

some COKE do help for constipation (maybe its a little too much)

 

[PhreeX]

Yeah, coke will make you want to shit, but we are talking about TRUE OPIOID CONSTIPATION, and from this, you'd have to just do lineafter line all night... trust me, laxitives+stoofsoftner+lots of water .. and yes, I have tried coke before, and all it did was, well, give me that special coke feeling you just wish would go away...

As for magnesium citrate - I have heard enough horror stories about it that I never got to the point I feltlike subjecting myself to the torture of it, what I hear is the worst part is the cramps, it's like, shit, one of the benifits of bveing a guy is that we don't rag it for a week each month and have to suffer that type of cramp ...

If you want to know you have it bad, is when you shit out that pineapple and with it the toliet water turns DARK RED, then you go through a roll of toliet paper to clean up all the blood (then say fuck it and take a shower) ... this happened to me once, and I know it wasn't a hermorid, so I'm guessing I tore something inside trying to get out that atomic ass bomb of pain ...

Using a dildo to help loosen your anus could work.

 

[silverfucked]

Oh... and that "senna bullshit" is not a placeabo.. its the ingredient in exlax... take 3 or 4 and tell me its all in your head...

In highschool i had to leave it was so bad. but that was then and this is now.

 

[TheHerojuana]

8( Damn! I guess it's turned in to a "worst shit I ever had" contest. Funny shit (pun intended) but it would do more good to tell how you avoid those "worst shit ever" stories. Keep em rolling just tell us how you have avoided it since.%)

 

[goldenbrown]

I used the dulcolax pill one time, the enteric coated one. Woke up the next morning and spent 5 hours in the bathroom in horrible, horrible, cramps, horrible nausea, nearly puked many times, and I shitted my guts out. Needless to say, it was my worst bathroom experience ever. The pain stopped suddenly, though, and it never came back. It had been a week since I last shit and I need to go bad. My gut get's HUGE when I get constipated because I am skinny guy. That, and I can't eat anymore either because I'm all plugged up. I went 2 weeks w/o shitting on one opiate binge, and I actually had to break up some of the stuff manually before I could get anything out.

Has anyone here ever got a hemrhoid (or hernia) from trying to push through one of these atomic beasts?

I gotta say, though, I have a new appreciation for taking a shit since using opiates, man it really is sweet relief these days.

 

[PhreeX]

Did you know thats you're almost dead on? Except it's not a dildo yer supposed to use, it's yer finger - its called "digital manipulation" (which IMO sounds like a really good name for a hacker group or techno artist) ... you ever see those tiny little "finger condom" things they sell at pharmacies? Usually on that same rack by the countor where they have the eyedroppers and baby syringes, basically these are for just that purpose - sticking a finger in your ass to manually manipulate the blocked piece of shit ....

I still say that some OTC laxitives or a good glass of some of the mint flavored Milk of Magnesia will usually get the job done - still, you shouldn't lwet yourself get to the point where it's been weeks since you shit - make it a pointto take a laxitive every few days and you will keep things going smooth, you won't have to deal with "pineapples" or "colon problems" ...

 

[ebeneezer_geeza]

liquid paraffin is good as a softener. Prune juice is excellent IMO. But the best is wait an hour or so, so you are in mild wd then u will go.

 

[PhreeX]

With withdrawal yes, you will then have the ability to take a shit, but often you have let things go too long and your colon is packed with a few pounds of cement, totally devoid of any water, hence the entire "pineapple" thing ... but yeah, once you get yerself moving it gets easier...

 

[AtxBigBallin]

take something meant to help constipation, and dont do anything stupid, just same shit u'd do for regular

Wow thats real good information! What made u decide to post?

 

[who mE?]

Regarding this issue, kristocontin is right as usual about WATER.
As a supplement to 8 glasses of water a day (its best to always have a large water bottle with you at all times - but watch out this may speed up your metabolism, you may wanna look into something to counteract this - raising your body's PH will make you more constipated though...)

stool softner+laxitive+lots of fluids

PhreeX is definately right about coke not being a good long term solution, but stool softener (docusate sodium) is NOT safe to take long term. It is essentially a detergant which irritates the bowel until you have to crap. The only laxatives which are safe to take longterm are the magnesium based ones. I highly reccomend Magnesium Sulfate as its cheapest, just dump a shitload (pun intended) into a water bottle, and have that be your dedicated "going" water bottle. Just sip on this (with a chaser) every 30 minutes until it works. Any form of magnesium will work, such as Magnesium Citrate, Milk of Magnesia, or even the Magnesium Oxide pills "for joint health" or whatever. All magnesium also has the side benefit of helping your jaw while on speed. The Magnesium Oxide pills will eventually throw off your stomach PH (too high) if you take too much and make you more constipated, so take them with a Vitamin C tab, or alpha lipotic acid.

I also reccomend what my pharmacist "reccomends" (automagically printed on my RX) "fiber laxatives". Just buy a box of that super high fiber (says so on the box) bran cereal. It tastes like cardboard, but is kinda good with milk and chocolate chips.

In the early 1900s superstitious people believed that all forms of illness came from constipation, and so "regular clensings" were commonly prescribed by doctors. It was latered that having a weekly colonic and being "regular" don't really fucking (mmm fucking) matter. But some stupid people still believe it.

Also if you have a problem with bleeding, I highly reccommend using lube, and the dildo idea (remember NO DILDOS WITH SEAMS) could be beneficial too, just don't go too deep. If you bleed too much, its probably hemmrhoids, and no you aren't going to die. If you are really paranoid, check to see if the blood is in the stools or on the exterior, this will help comfort you that you aren't internally bleeding. If you are, you probably wanna go to the hospital.

So there ya go the 3 pillars of crapping: water, fiber and magnesium.

 

[SilverFeniks]

If anti-drug propaganda included the horror stories of opiate constipation, I can bet you there'd be a lot less opiate abusers.
Its perhaps the one thing that keeps me from indulging more than once a week or so

 

[Iluv2getHI]

I sip on water after I take a dose of HIdro. It may be me but I think it helps make the high last longer and feel stronger. and I never have constipation any more. THE HELL with that
