I’ve tried almost everything under the sun and nothing has helped. My depression and anxiety is beginning to spiral out of control because of it! I’ve been in the hospital numerous times because of small bowel blockages and even been changing my diet along with increasing my physical activity. This really is no joke. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t frightened.
You're not alone brotha, I'm lucky to go 1 times a month and then only because I took 3 docalax pills before bed Friday and Saturday and then maybe a few rock hard pebbles drop out. Read my comment and see if you can relate.
I'm 400lbs and I'm active, I work as a caregiver in Oregon and always working 50hrs a week I have been on 140mg of methadone a day for chronic pain and i can only use my bathroom at home because I need a heavy duty plunger and toilet snake to even get it through the plumbing system, before I became a toilet clog expert (by sheer necessity) I'd be unable to unclog the toilet and I had to call a plumber, it's absolutely awful
@@rageagainstmachineo1491yes but be carful you need to taper bc when you just quit all of a sudden ur body catches up and tries forcing it all out. If it doesn’t come out right like if its too big yoh will rip ur asus that just happened to me had to go to ty fb hospital for surgery
Pain meds over 15 years multiple pain issues. Movantik worked after i adjustments made by me. To soften bm use miralax every couple days. Movantik 25mg was horrible. But i discovered chewing about 1/8 to1/4 a day for about 2 days worked. Withou side effects or pain. I told my dr. 25 mg was for me far too strong. But the pill is not bitter. So i chew small amounts 2 or 3 times a day. Then that evening or sometime next day it usually works. No major withdrawal. So far this first year using it in this manner has worked excellent. Some of you may want to try.
Who haven’t names any drugs for us watching . We need names of drugs . Also I’m sure you all know the new ones that are not generic yet are big covered by insurance abs cost a fortune egs $550 for 30 pills . We as opioid users did pain , would like to know exactly what we can do as patients to relive our costipation . . This talk is a waste of time completely. A complete waste of time watching this . No help to me whatsoever.
@@helenwray2678I'm basically looking for the best laxative for my opioid induced constipation, I'm feeling a lump in my stomach and it's starting to cause slight pain so I need to have a bowel movement asap
The constipation I have started after my gallbladder was removed on top of using opiates this medication causes muscle cramping in my legs all night long
Yes I did this for a week and had an impacted stool… it was so big and dry I couldn’t push out and had to dig it out with my fingers… now I’m even more terrified
I use miralax every few days and take magnesium Calm and it works WONDERS. If i forget to take either one i have stomach aches and everything goes to shit. No pun intended😂 I've been on methadone for 5 years and finally have it figured out. The magnesium has to be the powder that you mix with water. It gives you the urge to go that miralax doesn't.
I've tried Movantik, Relistor and Symproic and none of them work worth a damn. It's been four days since my last bm and I've not yet had another. They also cost a fortune, even with co-pay. Our doctors just write scripts and these worthless drugs are ruining us!

Will it help if I stopped taking heroin ?
@@2ndamendmentfirst31How are you able to go? I’m so constipated I’m getting suicidal over this!

This is definitely a common and very troubling issue that causes issues on the daily bases of being disrupting in focusing on work or anything else

THANKS 70 MUST TAKE O MOVANTIC PAIN ART/BACK LEGS
Made me so damn sick
Movantik 25 mg. 3 TBS OF CASTRO OIL /Lactulose. QD WORKS IN ABOUT 3 HOURS.
Do a self enema with Fleets enema......works most of the time.
Main reason for relapse: that vasovagal signal....
The constipation I have started after my gallbladder was removed on top of using opiates this medication causes muscle cramping in my legs all night long
Does holding it in make it worse I just know what’s coming and will put it off for a day or more sometimes
Yes I did this for a week and had an impacted stool… it was so big and dry I couldn’t push out and had to dig it out with my fingers… now I’m even more terrified

OTC ?
Over the counter IE non prescription drugs
PRUNE JUICE AND Thank me later!
Tried that, and softeners and senna
Didn’t work for me at all. Went 5 days in pain. Multiple things…. Nothing worked until day 6
Are there any peripherally acting mu receptor antagonists that are Otc
