[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 541699, member: 1514"] The collective "we" which goes to mean I told my doctor that I suspected that by changing from methadone to oxycontin caused me to have constipation. I always got very constipated on any "oxy" type medication rather than the "hydra" type. Of course now I am on neither and on just morphine sulfate. Not sure if that is better worse or indifferent but I know that I always got more constipated on say percocets than vicodin. Thats as plainly as I can say it. And it works the same way up the class with the stronger of those cousins. Oxycontin is just Percocet without tylenol and its long acting. I was the one who suggested that I thought it was from the medications and when they switched me back to morphine and I started taking the lactalose laxative along with it, well things did go okay for awhile. Nothing has been real good. I have always had some issues with this because of taking the pain medications. It is embarrassing that I have to worry about this at my age. I never dreamed I would be sending Tony out for Fleet when I was in my 40's! At least once or twice a year it just gets so bad that it hurts to go but this is a different feeling. When that is going on, its a "hurts to go down there because its a brick". I feel like I am giving birth without an epidural..lol. [/QUOTE]
