Constipation from suboxone

I have been on suboxone for a long time and I have always struggled with going poop.  Now, it has gotten to the point that every few weeks I get terrible stomach craps and sm sick for hours.  Eventually I go, but my body almost convolsus.  I know this is not an attractive topic but I don't know what to do.  It feels like I need to poop, but something down there isn't working.  It's almost like my muscles d,ont work right.  Has anyone ever lost the control of their ppop muscles?  I would appreciate any feedback other than the usually...water, fiber prune juice, exercise, etc. etc etc.  thanks.

Suboxine makes the fluid in your bowels go away. It's like trying to push a golf ball thorough a garden hose without any lubrication. Try a mild laxative such as a stool softner, make sure to drink plenty of water, or you can try epsom salt with is a natural laxative. The directions are on the bag. Message me if you have anymore questions or need help. Be careful though, I was so constipated in February of 2010 that I had a bowel obstruction and needed surgery....NO FUN! A stool softner will let your body work naturally as where a laxative forces you to poop, so take it the night before you dont have to work and stay home. Make sure you are close to a toilet because when it hits you will have to run to the bathroom.
