Default Help with Suboxone Side effects

Sorry if this is too much info. I have been on suboxone for about 3 months now and everything is going fine except that I am constipated all the time. I cannot handle it anymore. A few weeks ago I had ( from what I've read ) what is called an impacted stool. It was so hard and painfull to pass. I have tried everything I can think of. I take a fiber supplement on a daily basis, I drink prune juice regularly, I have even had to take a laxative here and there and even went as far as to try an enema and nothing is working for me. I have asked my dr. about it and he gave me a sample of amitiza and that didn't work. I have increased my water intake. I just don't know what else to do. I am almost ready to stop taking them for as long as I can handle just to see if it will put me into withdrawl so I can have a bowel movement. I don't want to get dependant on laxatives. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I can do about this?

P.S. I was addicted to Vicodin/oxycodone for about 2 years before I got on Suboxone. They didn't constipate me at all.
