constipation, drug induced
"I have been taking opiates for 2 years now, but as soon as I started taking morhpine everything came to a halt. I hadn't had a BM in over 8 days. I took the Movantik, and nothing happened at all the first day. Took another one the next, still nothing. Woke up the next morning, and, yeah I had some cramping and gas pain, but I also emptied my bowels of what seemed to be an entire week's worth of poop. Yes, it hurt, but not because of the drug. It hurt because unfortunately, my movement had hardened and was difficult to pass. However, the relief I felt after all was said and done is amazing. I am having regular-sized, normal movements now. None of the withdrawal symptoms, and none of the extreme discomfort like gas, vomiting, or cramps."
