Relieving opiate constiption-for the love of not being in agony, please help

^ Oil in veins, hmm sounds like a quick way to die to me, but this is coming from the girl that has banged pills....*shrug*
 
if you can get metoclopramide (reglan) it will help tremendously. if you have acid reflux or other gastric problems, you should have no problem getting it prescribed from your physician.
 
Wow, I just tried the tblsp of olive oil oral and tblsp+30ml h2o of epsom plugged and it worked within 20 mins!! Finally, some relief from that problem. I've always had it on opiates and always tried otc laxitives with no luck. Thank you so much for the idea!!

Seriously I'm so doing that all the time now. THANKS!!!!!!! =D
 
Try a few hundred mg of docusate sodium, it's a stool softener but I think it works stronger and faster than most fiber sources/supplements. While you're waiting for the laxative to kick in, just try not to go to the bathroom unless you really feel like you have to. Hemroids are often caused by excessive pushing while trying to go to the bathroom. When you have opiate constipation sometimes you have to force it out, but the less you have to do that the better off you'll be. Try to wait until you're ready to go. After you've been taking stool softeners for a little while it's safe to take a stimulant based laxative/diuretic such as caffeine.
 
Just to throw in another way of trying to cure constipation...

I got pretty well backed up from hydromorphone... 4 days of no-go, so i drank water literally all day. Probably downed 14 bottles of water. Of course I pee'd majorly, but I was also able to go the next day.
 
I have been having the same exact problems because of my 100mg / day methadone dose for the past 7 months. My symptoms of the constipation were really bad too, felt like I was shitting class when I could shit that is, and I could never get it going to begin with, and then after I did shit the glass out there was blood everywhere, everytime I shit!

I went to the doctor a week ago and got set up with 2 medications and have been improving, stools are soft now and I go everyday.

One is over the counter laxative, you should try it, it's called (MIRALAX 100% POWDER) and the other one I got is prescription and is a powerful stool softener, called (DOCUSATE SODIUM).

All I can help with, good luck.

Never once on this site, or any other, have I EVER claimed NOT to be fucked up, always have been, always will be, opiates bring out the very devil in me, with the result that things like the above get posted when I'm shitfaced=D

Which is most of the time:)

I LOL'd hard when I read that, damn near lost my suboxone!

Anyway, MnSO4 is the best idea, though I just drank it. It tastes like utter shit, but it works great.

Otherwise- if you don't want problems in the future, invest in some of those fruit flavored + calcium FIBER PILLS. They taste great and they prevent it almost 100%

A shot orally? Or IV? You got to remember that we are drug users and some of us are dumb enough to IV anything. Even air.

LOL, I meant drinking it. Do not inject it! By "a shot", I suppose I mean as much as you can get down in one big gulp. Because according to her, that stuff tastes so nasty that you're not be able to drink two.

The funny thing is that cod-liver oil can be absorbed through the skin, so her natural-medicine-doctor-person had her rubbing it on her stomach every day. She said it seemed to help a little.

But drinking it? Fast-Fast-FAST relief, according to her. Just saying what I heard.
