Constipation / with Narcotics

[janet19]

Man I am so constipated. I had a hired time when I was using my DOC, but with this suboxone man it just isn't working out very well. Any suggestions, I tried bowel softner - Collace, Milk of magnesia, extra fiber, dulcolax. Should I try one with a stimulant? I am miserable and starting to worry because it just isn't coming out. Bowel blockage? I am going to have to see doctor and I don't really have the money. Could that be why I am vomiting with the suboxone.

You better get to a Dr. or the toxins can be dangerous. Not to add to your worry, but do some research on google. 20 days is not good. When I was using (alot) sometimes I had to drink a bottle of the laxative and it would work in a couple of hrs. but the problem is it has been so long you are going to need the enema. I am with Greebs on this one, it is dangerous. I never wanted to talk about it, but it is reality. Good luck.

We are talking not much in a full 20 days. I have tried bowel softener, milk of magnesia, extra fiber, glycerin suppositories, dulclox suppositories. I was getting a few 10 or so hard pebbles, then a little more one night using the dulcolox. I had a bunch of watery stuff come out yesterday. But nothing much with poop in it. I am worried about blockage. I have also had 2 bouts of diverticulitis this year. Isn't that where colon gets infected and something stuck in one of those pits you get. I don't want to explode. lol

I think the problem is that she has used a softener with no results - sounds like she may need a combo of a softener and stimulant   :-)

The best thing for constipation is Stool softener... It will take 12 to 16 hrs to work but it workg the best second to that is Flaxseed oil its a natural herb in pill form that works good to but when constipated bad use the softener..

I have not really what you called had a good one since the first day. I have noticed a little blood in the stool that I have made. Mostly stone like pellets small amounts.  But I have an internal hemorrhoid. I have no blood in vomit. It is basically just the color of something I have ate or drank. I have been just light meals like a scrambled egg, soup, toast. I am going to buy a stimulant laxative tomorrow and try an enema. If I don't go by monday I am going to doctor. I just can't take this nothing coming out. While I am there I can talk to her with the vomiting issue if it is not connected to the bowel thing.

The sub itself could be making you vomit - but also if your bowel is so impacted this will make you vomit too - so you really need to get this sorted. Go to a phamacy and have a good talk with the pharmacist telling him/her everything........ they will recommend something appropriate.

My pharm told me that with narcotics the only thing that works are lax w/stimulants. Good luck!

How many days has it been since your last bowel movement?  Any blood when you vomit?  

[Greatgreebo]

yep...go with a stimulant now.......IF you don't have a bowel movement by tomorrow you need to get to see a doctor. there are also home enema kits you can get.....either way, if you don't get things moving really soon you need to seek medical attention.....give the stimulants and the enema a try. It's not fun to buy the stuff...but it's better than ending up in the ER
good luck

Janet~  Get some Miralax and follow directions...get it today(like right now!)  It should work. Also,keep drinking water....

I think you're vomitting from the Sub because it happens sometimes with that drug. See how it is after the GI thing is clear.

Let us know...
