What is the safest way to deal with opiate induced constipation? What is the worst way?
 
take something meant to help constipation, and dont do anything stupid, just same shit u'd do for regular
 
For some reason, these two posts seem to have complexified what I thought was a very, very simple issue...
I'm scared
 
Eat fibers. I cant write anymore because im thinking of the 45 min hell shit i took last night. The opiate world is beautiful and then constipation reminds you of how much youve been doing.
 
I wouldn't be scared if your constipated pinwheel, its very common. Just take a stool softener when you notice that you haven't gone for a few days. Now if you haven't gone in say a week or 2 then there could be problems I assume but I never have never been constipated more then a few days. It does suck that binded up feeling and the bitchyness that follows but once you go your happy as shit, lol, no pun intended ;)
 
Obviously youve never had the feeling of shitting out a pineapple that comes from opiate contipation.. I take citrucil and exlax if it has been too long.. Never just "wait it out".
 
I indeed had to wait this one out. I had nothing to take so I just drank a lot of water. Everything turned out fine, just too much effort. I asked because I have never used laxatives before. Didn't know what would cause the opposite problem and what would do the job just fine.

P.S. Sorry if I brought back some bad memories.

WHAT>>>8o is it really that bad sometimes? You just do this MONSTER shit that would tear a lesser mans arse to shreds???

Man....that'd suck...BIG TIME!!!
 
be sure to drink plenty of water also. when i was on methadone it got so bad i thought i was going to have to go to the hospital. i was eating alot of sweets and sugar dehydrates you. those otc meds didnt help at all. drink plenty of water if your constipated.
 
I have found that taking a stool softner and a stimulant laxative before I start with water and then before bed same thing again and I can go in the am usually. Drink a lot of water when using.
 
i recently had majory surgery, and was on large doses of oxycodone daily for about 2 months.. all i can say is take stool softener daily, and have suppositories and enema's on stand-by, and don't have too much pride to use them unless you want an agonizing trip to the emergency room.. trust me
 
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. If you are unlucky youll be in the hospital getting the old vinegar treatment.
 
You all have my thanks. I often find myself suddenly aware of the fact it's been two or three days and thinking "Oh shit! I'm in trouble again!". I don't eat meat or fish and this helps because of a higher fiber diet.

Sometimes though I just go to far and it ruins my appetite, hurts like hell and generally makes me feel bad. I think from what you have all said that a fiber laxative is going to be kept on hand and some ex-lax for the really bad days. Supositories sound a little too much for me but I guess better than the ER. Once again thanks for the good advice.
 
constipation

1.Use everytime milcsugar instead of normal sugar (youll need high quantities, its not very sweet) but these quants are nesessary.
2.Go to the pharmacy and buy lactulose. Take it while you're consuming not afterwards.

once again, you can take all the laxatives you want and they wont work if your dehydrated. water is the key here, not laxatives. i was on methadone for 2 years and at the end, it was hell. i couldnt go for nothing because i was so dehydrated. i would eat a gallon of ice cream in 2 days. the sugar had me really dehydrated. i would rarely drink water. now i dont even eat sweets. good luck.
 
yeah, water is pivotal.
and as far as laxatives, i tend to like the phillip's ones. they aren't harsh on the stomach and don't give me the jitters like exlax.
 
Given that I have bene on opioids 24/7 since I got out of the hospital, and given that I was on opioids 24/7 for years before I was in the hospital, I can tell you that if you're a chronic user (is 24/7) then you need to take a stool softner+laxitive+lots of fluids, you SHOULd be shitting at LEAST once every 2-4 days ... if you're going for 2 weeks you can wind up having serious colon problems ...

Now if yer just someone thats uses once in awhile, for short period of time (ie goes out and gets fucked up for the weekend) then it will pass... the opioids will leave yer system and you will be happily shitting again, if needed, take a laxitive....
