For Constipation, Chronic "I have had chronic constipation due to taking methadone for severe nerve damage and my nerves now not working in my colon and stomach properly. I have been on opioids for over 26 years. From reading some of these reviews, I wonder if some of you may have similar issues and that may be why many meds may or may not work for you. You may want to check with your doctor about the possibilities. OIC is the first issue thought of, but in some cases, there may be more to it, so I have learned. I'm hoping this info can at least help someone. I have taken my first dose today of three 150 MG tabs 30 min before eating first thing in the AM. I will be starting out by taking this dose for 3 days in a row. I am hopeful because Movantik worked well more than not, however, it was always a violent clearing out of my system and the withdrawal side effects were unbearable for me, so I am a bit fearful of these side effects from Relistor. I will be back to share how or if this med works for me enough."

For Constipation, Drug Induced "I've been on a variety of pain meds since 2006 from a 92# tree limb falling on me and had become quite impacted and constipated because of them. After years of trying many, many different kinds of laxatives and eating plenty of fruits, my doctor finally asked me today (while refilling my Medtronic morphine pump) if I had ever tried this injection. He gave me a sample and told me to be close to a toilet, so I just now gave myself the injection, now that I'm home. So far, the only thing I'm feeling is activity in my stomach as if things will be happening soon... no bad cramps, headache, sweats... just motion in my stomach. It started almost immediately, and now half an hour has passed and I am still waiting... Will keep you posted..."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "I have been experiencing OIC and have been using every OTC and natural remedy available. The issue has been ongoing for several months. I took my first Relistor injection 5 hours ago without success. I added some suppositories, magnesium citrate, and a Fleet enema and expelled some gas and a few pellets of poop. Why have I not experienced, and what can I expect with another injection tomorrow? This problem is totally incapacitating."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "So I was injured in a car wreck in 2018, herniated a couple of disks in my back, and I also have an issue where my disks are disintegrating. So after the wreck, I was on pain pills for about 9 months, talked to my doctor because I was scared of being physically dependent on them. The doctor put me on Belbuca, started low, now up to 750 twice daily. Never had any issues going to the bathroom until all the pain meds. The doctor gave me a few samples of Relistor yesterday, took my first dose this morning, nothing yet. I hope it works eventually.... Was hoping for the 30-minute miracle, lol.."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "Worked fine at first, and then after about 6 months, when I took the shot, it would take 2 hours for anything to happen."

For Constipation, Drug Induced "So the first dose didn't do a single thing but make me have gas so bad my back was killing me! Just did my second dose, so I am hoping and praying this works! I'm on the fence about this product."
