Opiate Constipation

Silver,

No shit (pun intended) about the drug propaganda stuff. Constipation is what I and many others here consider the WORST side effect of long term opiate use. It sucks, big time. If the DARE people told me how bad opiates would plug me up, I probably woulda waited a few weeks longer before I tried them, lol. But really, they should tell people this kind of stuff, it would deter at least some potential abusers, although I am mixed when it comes to "spreading the joy" of opiates.
 
everytime you use laxatives for opiate constipation you're weakening the muscle tone of your colon and making yourself more dependent on laxatives for a good shit (even when you're not using). is constipation is really a problem the best thing to do is moderate your opiate use. if you must use a laxative use a natural one like psyllium seeds.
 
Actually with my daily use I find the constipation becomes less of a problem then when I would use for 5-7 days then stop ... but fiber? Natural laxitives? We really do have beter living through chemistry now that I can avoid having to drink a gallon of prune juice and eat ANYTHING high in fiber - though based upon my carefull study of the TV that I let run all day in the background it seems the whole "fiber" thing REALLY is the trend .. Atkins "friendly" meals, cell phone service, and fiber... thats what my commercial breaks seem to be about, so I guess it's like the new "hip" thing...

who mE - Are you saying a bi-weakly clonic isn't the thing to do anymore? Pfft! That type thinking leads me to believe your humors are imbalanced, a good case of leeching is in order!
 
I always take epson salt after a codeine trip .
Epsom Salt increases amount of water in the intestine.
Work very well ! , never have constipation with this salt.
Check the good posology for your body !
cheap way
 
Constipated Troubles!!!

I am extremely constipated from opiate use. I am prescribed to take duragesic and dilaudid for breakthrough pain. I currently take 4 senna-s's twice a day (aka sennokot-s) and i also take fiber choice chewables (6 a day so 12mg of extra fiber)...drink tons of water, and i still have to use a Bisacodyl suppository to take a shit (common brand is dulcolax). What can I do to stop using these suppositories? Can they become habit forming? I think I am addicted to them!!!
 
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

Actually the medical term for the "procedure" is disimpaction.
 
Take 1-2 senokot. They work for me. One is a stool softener and two is "like woah." It's natural veggie lax so give it a try. My meds make me weird in this respect and the senokot has worked well for me so far. Just make sure to take before bed...

Magnesium Citrate. It is the end all, be all of laxatives. You will hurt, you will curse and you may pray for it to end but, you will shit like you have never shit before. I remember when my mother had to take this stuff. She was pissing out her ass, at leat thats how she put it. If this doesn't work then you may have to call up the ole' proctologist! This will definitely get things moving and if you capitalise on it, keep things moving.

I doubt you will get "hooked" on sticking silver bullets up yer arse. Worst case scenario is your bowels become dependant on laxatives to make things move, so ease up on using them all the time or use them sparingly. Good luck with your clogged plumbing!;)
 
i hadnt shit for like a week from having a lil binge on opiates.. i stopped usin and have been for about 4 days.. i took a big shit today and i was "THANK FUCKIN GOD MAN!!! YEA!!".. glad thats all over..opiates are oh so good but so bad you ya when it comes to bowels
 
i havent taken a shit for 7 days and im starting to feel sick.. i cant eat anymore and decided its time to do something .. I took 2 sttol softeners and 2 exlax and drank hapf a bottle of prune juics.. i now feel like im gonna puke if i drink anymore.......im beginning to cramp up.. well see what happens from here
 
^^^ if it has been more than 5 days you should seek medical help 7 days is def pushing it no pun intended plant enzymes from the health food store can help also beet greens

good luck and let us know how things come out lol sorry could not resist
 
I've been so lucky, the first few times I did oxy I was constipated for 48-72 hours, but since then I've been able to go the next day almost every time ;)

Feels so wrong writing this, lol. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
 
i got constipated once from opiates, and MAN it sucked. now, when i feel even a twinge of the beginnings of constipation, i use a suppository laxative. always works.
