This is horrible! I haven’t had a bowel movement in 6 days(going on 7). I just started on Suboxone Thursday, and had a few hydros the days before. Constipation started last Tuesday. I’ve tried almost everything listed here. I’ve added fiber to my diet. I even got some Fiber One oatmeal bars and eat 2 a day. I got Metamucil last night and drank it with 8oz of orange juice last night and this morning. I drink plenty of water throughout the day as Suboxone causes dehydration. And still yet I am unable to pass even a rabbit size load. Luckily I haven’t had any stomach cramps, yet. I’m still worried though. Even habitually using hydros daily I was able to go at least once every other day. I told the nurse I saw today and she recommend I get Miralax. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m going to buy some tonight. I hope this works.

I am curious if anyone has tried alcohol to relieve constipation from Suboxone. I know alcohol cleans the bowels well, but I haven’t drank since starting Suboxone. I think I will get a six pack before trying the laxitive the nurse recommended.
