constipation, drug induced
"Only been taking this drug for one week. My Pain Doc gave me some samples of Movantik 25mg.
Took it around 7am. By the 3rd day it started doing what I had read. However by the 6th day I had mild withdrawl. I still could function. I took my dose of ms contin 45mg and after about an hour I was feeling better. Today I asked my pharamacist about cutting it in half and she didn't see a problem. So I will let you know how that works out. I am supprised that many have related like total withdrawal symtpoms. For me OIC with IBS disables me about 3 days a week. I am so sick that anything is better. So at this point I am taking 45 mg Morpine ER 3 times a day. 1 10 mg Norco daily. I think with adjusting it that it will be helpful for me in the long run"
