Suboxone and chronic constipation?

Sounds like they need to see if you have a obstruction somewhere.  Also taking some stool softners everyday may help.\n\nAre you drinking alot of water?\n\nCan they change you to a different drug for detoxing...like Clonidine?

Increase your intake of water and fiber.Fruit has lots of fiber.Also raw vegetables,Oatmeal,nuts,and whole grains.Don't do laxatives.That is only a temporary fix.You also could become addicted to them.Diet is a major factor contributing to Constipation..Medications can play a part as well.Talk to your Doctor if this goes on for a long period of time or if you notice abdominal pain.Exercise can also make you more regular.A lazy body can make for a lazy colon.

Pain medication can cause constipation.  Stool softeners would be better than laxatives.  If you still don't have a bowel movement, you should call your doctor and ask them what to do.  If you start vomiting, call your doctor right away.  If you do have a bowel obstruction, it's not a good thing.\nThe strange feeling in the rectum could also be a hemorrhoid. Which is another good reason to use a stool softener.

I can answer this personally. My DR. put me on it for chronic pain ; along with percosets, xanax, soma, all this together. I took myself off of the stuff. Methadone will kill you,. I know several people who have died from it. Go to   ask .com  Good Luck!

Have you tried drinking 8 8ounce glasses of water a day...sounds stupid but if you drink that amount daily you are sure to get results for constipation....don't drink more than that though, too much water is no good for your kidneys. In the mean time try to eat greens, cold cereals and just try a stool softener, any otc will do or try dulcolax suppositories until you get your diet changed.

As you know, some pain meds can cause constipation.  A Fleet enema is usually sufficient to deal with the problem, but sometimes a large volume enema (or series of enemas) is necessary.  \n\nMost people find Fleet enemas to be quite tolerable.  They generally cause little or no discomfort.

Hello -\n\nA diet with increased fiber and water intake is known to work for infrequent cases of constipation.  You could also try a laxative, though it may damage your digestive lining and lead to dependency later.\n\nIf you're facing chronic constipation, you may want to ask your doctor about processes like colonic irrigation.\n\nIf you have chronic constipation and would prefer to resolve the issue more privately, try a product called "Oxy-Powder."  You can find it on eBay or by googling it.  It works (allegedly) by delivering oxygen to the small intestine, which (allegedly) helps to ease and facilitate the digestive and eliminative processes.  It appears to be very well-reviewed.\n\nBest of luck to you --

No.  If you are of normal health, it probably won't make too much of a difference what you take.  But, if you have certain stomach or digestive problems, it is important to get a fiber that does not contain psyllium, which can actually cause constipation in people who have IBS or other digetsive conditions.  Metamucil, Fibrogel, and other brand name fibers have this.  Benefiber is one of the better fiber supplements that does not contain psyllium and you can find it pretty much anywhere.  Walmart usually have a pretty good price on it, though it is more expensive than the usual stuff

Watch the consumption of various foods eaten. Sometimes processed foods, spicy foods, or spoiled food can create a reaction and our system responds by throwing it off via diarrhea.  There could also be an infection in your body needing to come out. As everyone has already mentioned...GO SEE A DOCTOR.  My suggestion is: Don't self medicate and don't use those OTC drugs that may constipate you, thus creating a continuous circle, going nowhere except back and forth to the bathroom. Go see your doctor if this extends past 3 weeks.  You may need to produce a stool sample for testing.

some things that have helped me:\n\nunadulterated alove vera juice\n\nlots of orange juice\n\nsome strong coffee/500ml bottle of coca cola \n(this only seemed to work if I hadn't had something caffeinated for quite a while and I wouldn't recommend taking a lot of caffiene regularly)\n\n2 tablespoons of molasses\n\n2 tablespoons of natural honey\n\n5 or 6 dried figs\n\n1 cup of raw oats with milk (make sure you have plenty to drink with this)\n\nI would not recommend taking laxatives for anymore than a few days at a time as it can seriously mess up your digestive system, as it did mine. Now I stick to natural remedies... there are plenty out there.\n\nIf your constipation is serious I would advise you to seek medical advice.

it depends on how much you were doing and for how long and how much water you drink. i have a friend who was a super heavy user like 2 -3 grams a day and was quite stout body shape he went to detox and was clean for a week and still tested postive for meth!?! and he hadn't done any at all for 1 week!! so i recommend drinking as much h20 and green tea as possible. and this is a must, if you have access to a steam room go in for 10 - 15 minutes twice a day or take epson salt baths this will make you sweat out the toxins like mad. it also makes you feel super wired cause it is releasing any of the speed stored in your system. its also an amazing way to detox. also take alot of b12 to give you energy. good luck

Hey..experienced laxative junkie here..lol..yes they work..I suggest going to cvs and buying exlax extra strength (blue pills) and some rolaids or tums just incase you get a tummy ache..start off the day buy popping two blue pills (WITH FOOD) and a glass of water or you'll get cramps..the cramps is because ure body is absorbing the pill two quickly..it needs other stuff in there to break it down..you wont lose alot of weight unless you cut calorie consumption..but if youre really bad one day and eat horribly ad break youre diet badly take 3-4 pills that day and 2-3 the next..you wont gain any weight from it..always remember to take ure pill int he am! it helps break down all the junk you eat during the day..and look at the back of the box..it takes 6-8 hrs sometimes! My fave laxs are the exlax I told you about and duldolax..works great but you can only take one a day..I ALWAYS get cramps with this pill..I never take more than one a day but they work great..I went on vaca with my bf to florida and we ate like total pigs..I took these towards the end of the vaca the last few days and I dropped 5 pds of the 8 I gained lol! Fiber powders/pills and such suck! They don't work well at all..neither do prunes..Mineral oil is great to cook with..it makes cakes/brownies/cookies taste alot better..and they help you get rid of that stuff lol! Everyone is going to say they arent healthy and it is a disgusting habit but whatever..if i didnt have them to help me diet I'd be alot more unhealthy and overweight..the only people who get sick from them are people who really abuse them! for example..take 10 a day...if you have any more questions email me kirchshannon@yahoo.com

I'm not a doctor, but if I were you, I would go to another doctor and get another opinion.  Constipation can be a symptom of many diseases or other problems.  I myself have chronic diarrhea as a result of Crohn's disease, but constipation can be a symptom.  Has the doctor done any blood work or stool samples?  This can help rule out many things.  \n\nBe proactive. If you don't feel well, and you feel that the doctor isn't treating you as he/she should be, then find a different doctor.\n\nGood luck.

Initially, alternative practitioners will suggest that the patient drink an adequate amount of water each day (six to eight glasses), exercise on a regular basis, and eat a diet high in soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers include pectin, flax, and gums. Insoluble fibers include psyllium and brans from grains like wheat and oats. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain both soluble and insoluble fibers, and since constipation is aggravated by folate, calcium, and magnesium deficiencies, sources of these nutrients, such as asparagus, spinach, parsley, and other dark green leafy vegetables, should be part of the daily diet. Various fruit juices can also help maintain normal bowel function; sorbitol, the natural sugar found in apple juice has known laxative properties. Castor oil, applied topically to the abdomen and covered by a heat source (a heating pad or hot water bottle), can help relieve constipation when used nightly for 20-30 minutes.

For some people once they get the "big O" the relief is so great that it causes them to poop. Did you ever see someone who has their morning coffee or a cigarette and they need to go. Its the same thing. But that is so awesome.

Laxatives work in a couple of ways. Some can increase the rhythmic contractions along your digestive tract. These occur naturally to help digest and move the food along the tract. This is called peristalsis. However, if you take too much or take a strong laxative, it can become uncomfortable for the person. \n\nIf this occurs and you need one at another time, ask your pharmacist for a mild laxative or stool softner. It will be a lot less unpleasant. \n\nDo not overdose or take them too regularly however. They can cause incontinence and you can become dependent. I've seen a number of girls become dependent on them for weight loss purposes yet have no idea they are trying to rid a few kilos but may be developing bowel problems. It's not the best way for weight loss!\n\nHope this answers your question!
