Fellow opiate users and abusers, suggestions...

Congrats man!
Among long term opioid users it's not really an odd thing. I'm REALLY glad it wasn't painful for you. I've gone on benders and forgotten to take fiber supplements and had shits that felt like giving birth.
I'll have to watch that one. Thanks!

i'm still that way even on 15mg's of methadone a day.. it's gotten to the point that i have started naming my poos.. and now when i flush, i feel like i just had an abortion... it's terrible, let me tell you..

hahahahaha!

Best thing I ever did was get off of opiates. Wasn't easy. Had to go to methadone clinic. I was tapering off,got down to 50 mg and then got arrested. I had to spend 30days in jail. Finished detoxing in there. Got out clean and never looked back

LOL! Classic thread

I really feel for people that have to take opiates. I had major surgery about 15 years ago and took those fuckin oxy's for a while .... man, I felt like a zombie. Then coming off of them sucked so bad that I started taking them again just to feel "normal". I'm very thankful I was able to bite the bullet and stop using them. I was prescribed suboxon (sp?) which seemed to help some.

As for constipation, I know a thing or two about that if you ever have this issue again. I do a 2 week juice-fast a couple times a year where I don't eat anything. I only make juices, which removes most of the fiber and leaves me constipated as fuck. I take Psyllium Husk which works well but is tough to swallow because it cakes up really bad when wet. In a pinch you can also give yourself an enema using coffee. That probably sounds strange, but it really does work.

i was eating dry prunes, a few a day when i was really having issues, just make sure not to over do it and they help out a ton ime.. just got to keep up with it, like 2 or 3 a day, every day is the key..

Yup. You gotta do the daily fiber if you're on opioids chronically. And make sure to drink enough water.

that's still one of my major down falls, my water consumption if next to nothing daily.. i might drink about, idk, 40 oz's of hot tea per day, and some juice, but as far as pure water, only after i brush my teeth really.. i know i need to up it, just not a huge water fan.
my gf on the other hand, holy hell, that girl probably drinks about a gallon and a half of straight water, every day. i'd never leave the bathroom if were her..

couldn't you swallow pills with Metamucil and alleviate all three ,constipation,water consumption,and the pills?
