Bupe Suffering horribly from constipation from subutex maintenance.. Please help me :(

stop being a ninny, eat some fiber filled foods and exercise. plenty of leafy greens, avocados, brown rice, things like that. youll have a good poo in a few. and stop doing drugs you sound fucking weird.
 
You should be taking a maintenance dose of Miralax daily....I find that a half dose every day keeps my stools nice and soft and easy to pass when I go...since u r plugged up already it may take a few days but once u pass the initial load you will be fine with daily half doses....works like a charm.

It basically just draws water into your colon so u aren't shutting dry hard bricks and tearing your bunghole apart....I used to suffer like you but when I started the Miralax I never had a problem again...buy the store brand....much cheaper
 
you can take a stool softener daily, if it's a chronic problem, don't take it when you have an issue, take it every night and it should take care of the issue. Be very carful if you go longer then 6 days with out a BM this can be very bad and cause a bowl impaction. The golden rule is that if you can pass gas then you are probably ok. But if you go 5 days with no BM and can't pass gas this can be a very bad issue and should consult your doctor right a way. In the hospital we use a little mixture that always seems to the trick: it's 150ml of prune juice and 1 TBL of butter, warm it up in the microwave and down it. Usually all of our patients who use this will have a BM within the next few hours, good luck to you!
 
Take stool softener's without stimulants. You can safely take these as recommended. It may take a week or two before they actually start working effectively so you have to be patient. Laxatives with stimulants can be harmful long term. As a recovering bulimic, many many years ago when I was younger and did not know better I found out what they can do to a person. In short, they can impact your heart much the same as anorexia which was less my problem. They can also when stopped constipate you even more. I was hospitalized afterwards for a week as technically the "shit" backed up in my system and the toxins affected bile ducts, pancreas, etc., not pleasant except the pain medication was great which made it worse and, I was a F'ing mess until it got worked out.

Tell your Dr as there are scripted meds, even edemas that he can get for you, but you really need to look at your diet. You can search for foods, like prunes, that are natural laxatives and I would think it would be easier to suffer through eating something you may dislike over the ritual you find yourself in. Good luck.
 
Everybody i know that's on buprenorphine/subotex has a constipation...Nothing to be afraid of...Happened to me also a few times.You just have to learn the right tehnique to drop the shit.I know it can be tence but it is like it is...I have a different problem..Every morning i wake up with an unbearable pain in my stomach and a huge need to go to the toilet.I can't stop it no matter how hard i try...And this sometimes happens even twice a day...If u find yourself in a position like that in a place where's no toilet around...u can confortably shit in ur pants :D The pain is so big like u were holding it forever...U can't fight it.You have to find a toilet in a minute.If u don't.......TAADAAAMMM! :D So everybody gets affected differently..Most guys have constipation but some guys have the problem i told u about..Just sideeffects,nothing to worry about in ur case

A ninny eh whatever the hell that means why even contribute if your gonna be a retard.
I'd like to see how much of a ninny you are when you don't go poo for 2 weeks you've obviously never been through such horrendous constipation.
