Constipation despite lowering dose
Hey guys, I have been on suboxone for 5 years now, and started at 12mg. Went down to 8mg after 6 months and stayed at 8mg for years….for the constipation my doc prescribed me LACTULOSE and it worked wonders for many years….
in the past year I have dropped to 4mg and have started working out and running about 6 months ago…that’s when the constant constipation started again. Small very very hard poops 12 times a day straining…lactlose does not work, miralax does not work, water doesn’t work, fiber doesn’t work… and lowering my dose to 2mg doesn’t work.
I can’t continue to live like this. I went to the GI doctor and they were no help, just wanted to throw me on opioid constipation meds…when I am literally on 2mg….oh I have explosive farts too that I have to try and push out….tmi… anyone have any advice?
