Suboxone ???Trying Not to be Gross

[secretlady00]

I'm taking one (8N) of suboxone half in the am and half in the pm Dr. told me to take 3(8N) a day, all I did was sleep the one split in half works fine for me and I'm going to take less after I see him this week, its some STRONG STUFF!!!! Anyway to the point of it and I hope I don't offend anyone but here goes...after a year of taking 140+++mgs of oxys a day for a year my bowel movements have all but stopped and needless to say I'm bloated, very bloated!  Does that start to regulate again with the suboxone or does it have the same effect as the oxy's.  I'd like to hear from anyone who has had some of the same problems or effects with the meds.  And, I appologize to anyone who is offended by this question ahead of time, don't mean to be gross just need to know?  Again,like always thanks to all of you, S.L.

I am not usre about the suboxone but I have the same problem with taking the oxys.  I found that eating prunes and oatmeal really helps me.  I know everyone is different but its worth a shot.  And also...I didn't go for like 10 days before so I took a Womens Laxative.  That will really clean you out.  Its not the most comfortable thing but its better than being bloated.  And just to let you know...I hardly go #2 either...and when I do...its more of like rabbit terds.

Yes I am on Subutex which pretty much the same as suboxone and I too am having difficulty with BM. I  have had to take Senokot it is a stool softener a coupl a times a day and that has helped. When it gets really bad I take a little MOM. Any opiate and remember Suboxone is a form of an opiate can block you up. Hope I  was a help to you SecretLady.

I have been on pain meds for a long time too and of cause with the same side effect so I take laxative with stool softner 2 am and 2 pm.  It took a little while but life is good again.
