Constipation, Drug Induced
"I was given samples of the 25mg dose for constipation due to methadone.  I took it as prescribed, 2 hours after a meal.  Within an hour, I was vomiting, has severe diarrhea, and horrible stomach cramps.  I ended up calling an ambulance and spending 2 days in the hospital.  All my electrolytes were out of balance, my temperature dropped to 95, I was so dehydrated they could barely get blood out of me. They kept a heart monitor on me the entire time I was in the hospital.  I had to be put on morphine, the pain was so bad.  I was released after 2 days but am now just starting to eat again.  I am usually very tolerant of new medications, but this one could have killed me.  I would NEVER recommend this to anyone."
