Constipation, Drug Induced
"I&#039;ve had mixed results with this.  Been on 180mg of Oxy IR and 75mcg Fentanyl for YEARS. When my doc increased my Fentanyl to every 48 hours, all my plumbing STOPPED.  I NEVER had any problems, ever!  I fought with the constipation, not going for 6 weeks+ sometimes.  I don&#039;t know what hurts worse...?  Anyway, the Relistor works here and there.  I don&#039;t have insurance and at $75 a 12mg injection, I can&#039;t afford not to go!!! I just gave myself a 12mg shot yesterday, and another today.  24 hrs apart.  Nothing.  I haven&#039;t gone in 3 weeks now.  This is not good.  The laxative route does nothing as well.  I&#039;m frustrated... Any suggestions?"
