I have been taking oxycodone for a bit now an have constipation from it. Anyone know what to do to help? I have takin all kinds of laxitives an none seem to help.
I take oxycodone as well. What I do to not be constipated is eat foods high in fiber, such as raisin bran or fresh fruits like apples. Taking laxatives isn't good for you as you will become dependent on them for BM's. The other thing that I do is drink lots of water everyday. I average drinking about 5 - 6 bottles of water a day with Crystal Light.

hihi ducolax, works, um, I drink activia everyday too. The best is an enema (i know, it's gross), but it works too, although you'd probably want to make that your last resort. Ask your dr for constipation pills, although a friend of mine LOVES her OC's because she's got IBS and it keeps hers regular! LOL
