For the last three months I have been going through pretty severe constipation from my daily sub maitnence.

Ater trying every kind of otc constipation medicine I have found that Milk of Magnesia is the only thing that works for me. It usually works after taking it for three days. After having my first bowel movement I typically have a bowel movement the next couple of days also. Then I am stopped up from the bupe again.

I think I am waiting too long to take the milk of magnesia. I usually wait a few days after my last bowel movement to take the mom again. Even then I have to wait another 3-4 days for it to work so I am constipated for over a week sometimes.

So does anyone else here just take milk of magnesia daily for opiate constipation? I am worried taking it every day might not be good for me.

Another question I have about opiate constipation. I used to and still do sometimes when it gets bad use a Fleet Enema. They work every time for me. When I look up the use of Bupe or any other opiate with a Fleet enema on drugs.com it says there is a serious interaction. Serious interaction is the worst one on drugs.com. I have never had any problems doing an enema while on opiates and I don't get why it would be a problem. Any opinions on this?
 
No opinions about the Milk Of Magnesia or the Enemas having a bad interaction with opiates?

I'm starting to really get tired of this bupe constipation! I live my whole life around my damn bowel movements! My mood even changes after I finally have a bowel movement. I'm constantly thinking about it. It's hard for me to even pass gas I get so blocked up down there.

Even now, I had a bowel movement for three straight days after taking the mom but today I didn't. I'm already starting to get backed up again. I'm thinking of just going ahead and taking the milk of magnesia now instead of waiting a few days considering it takes a few days to work. Im starting to think my problem is by the time I start taking the mom I already have hard impacted crap in me so maybe I need to take milk of magnesia everyday? It doesn't soften crap that's already in your colon I think.

I could be wrong but I think it would be impossible for me to have a bowel movement on bupe without some kind of laxative! I drink a bunch of water and eat a bunch of fruit and nothing works exept for milk of magnesia.
 
It says to not consume any medications two hours before or two hours after consuming milk of magnesia on the bottle, that's the only interaction I'm aware of.

I don't know what to tell you man, I have the same problem with bupe but I treat it with magnesium oxide supplements and a cup of coffee when I'm 48 hours past my last opiate dose. Does the trick every time.
