I have been constipated for weeks due to pain medication, stress, vacation and probably diet too. I have gone to the bathroom, but I am not fully evacuating and it's getting painful. I went to the hospital 9 months ago for this problem (although much more severe at that point) and they gave me magnesium citrate with suppository stool softeners. I remember the mag citrate was a painful experience and I vomited the first bottle. I need to take this stuff before it gets any worse. My daily miralax and the two ducolax suppositories I took last night haven't provided much relief. I thought withholding the pain meds would produce the urge to go but after more than twenty four hours that hasn't helped either. I need to know if I can take my pain medicine as usual, then do the mag citrate? I'm in a world of hurt. Or would it be better to skip it and bear the pain? No interactions between the two are listed.
Should Magnesium Citrate be taken with or without pain meds?

Hi P.H.M. You have created a lot of questions in your post, that I find interesting... and totally wrong ! ! Mag. Citrate , by itself is great stuff & if you'd like to take ONE PILL per day, do it "Docusate sodium" "softgels" (BY MOUTH!) 250MG.Brand name is "Col- Rite"!.FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! ... Now. .. if what you're telling me is true , get the hell away from the people you're dealing with [they're quacks! ! ] find another Dr... and... keep your hands out of your butt , totally , and start using your mouth , like you're supposed to. EAT ROUGHAGE & bulk up.For the NEXT MONTH, try this, & Kid, your gonna be awful sick if you don't poop out your "Poor Me Attitude"! ["But gee mr.

Excellent advice my brother! At the end of your post you said the most important thing... water water water! It really does help. And walk alot. When I had my "at home nurse" after surgery, she recommended a full glass of warm prune juice at bedtime. I must say, it sure did the trick. I had tried all the other crap including an enema... NOT nice to say the least. BYW, using satellite kids laptop as a loaner. Man oh man is this thing dragging out!
