NO Idea Where to Put This.. "Personal" Problem.. HELP!! I had no idea where I should put this.. It's kind of embarrassing having to ask strangers, but I don't know what to and don't have anyone else to ask. :15: I'm on day 14 of Suboxone treatment and I can't go to the bathroom (#2). I'm taking Zelnorm at bedtime and it's not working... It's starting to make me ill as I haven't gone since the 1st day! :02: I have fiber laxatives but wasn't sure if it was ok to take them with the Zelnorm... Any suggestions? (perhaps the name of a laxative that'll work better) : sigh : |
I know how u feel, I went 11 WEEKS without going. It was so painful, I finally ate a whole bar of laxatives, which worked. It was the longest that I haven't gone in my life...good luck! |
Coffee works best for me. For some reason, I don't find the constipation as bad with the sub- the oxys would keep me all bound up for weeks - horrible. I tried - glycerin suppositories (gross - but they worked). But that's ont a temporary solution. If you're gonna be on the subfor a while, you need to find swomethinh that works for you - even just increasing your fiber intake can help... |
I'd try a natural approach first- Metamuesal (sp?) Fiber, Enima (one mineral, one water), Epsom salt. If that doesnt work try over the counter stuff- Immodium etc. Good luck |
go for a long walk and drink a LOT of water, in addition to whatever other remedy you try... |
Yes, I have the same exact problem... I posted about it some time ago. I have suffered constipation for a long time, and using opiates really made the problem bad, real bad, but then I started the sub. program, and WOW!! I can't believe I am actually having MORE problems that I did abusing the pain killers, and I didn't think that was possible. I use enemas, (sorry people, but it's part of life) and suppositories, when nothing else works.. It's a terrible side effect... But one I will live with until I am off the program completely.. Love, Becky |

Maybe consider talking to your doctor about reducing the amount of Sub a little. From what you say about the amount you are sleeping and the constipation it sounds as though your doseage may be a little high for you. Glad you are feeling good. :) |
