constipation, drug induced
"My PM MD gave me samples after being constantly constipated for 2 years. Post L5-S1 disc replacement - 50mcg/hr q72h of Fentanyl and 10mg Oxycodone 6x day. The 1st time you take Movantik make sure you take it on a day off from work! I took it on a weekend, first thing in AM as the instructions say (1h before your 1st meal) and had a BM approx 4hrs later. I strongly suggest taking a stool softener - the BM was so wide from sitting in my intestines that I cut myself while going and bled (awful feeling). I tried taking every other day but gave me nausea the day of taking it and usually the day after, very painful cramping before during and after taking the pill and having a BM, and dec appetite. Will try Relistor inj next."
