constipation, drug induced
"I have been on 100 mg's of methadone for almost 4 months and my constipation has been miserable! It got to the point were I was so bloated that my pants were not fitting and I had to buy new ones because of all the stool in my stomach. Well I got desperate and asked my doctor for help, and after being prescribed lesser stimulant laxatives and Colace to no avail, I landed Movantik. I took it after I ate dinner (2 hours after, as instructed) and I ended up going to bed only with a slight cramp in my stomach. I am positive it was not due to the med, it felt as if my intestines were waking up and beginning to work again. When I woke, I had the best, most normal BM ever. I am so happy for this med 12/10. I will update if anything changes. 9/3/16"
