For Opioid-Induced Constipation "I have been taking this medication for 2 weeks now, still no bowel movement! Nothing but cramps, nausea, and feeling like I'm withdrawing! Did anyone else do that? I have been feeling terrible since I started taking it. Before, I was using 2 capfuls of Miralax in my coffee in the morning, and it might be a day or two, but when it started, it worked! Along with old school Ex-Lax! Drinking Gatorade with 2 capfuls Miralax in the evening. And it seemed, or I know it worked better than Symproic. On Symproic, I would bloat up so bad I looked 7-8 months pregnant, and I'm female, have had 2 children, and honestly, it felt like I was carrying an 8 lb baby again! I was miserable!"

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "For all those people on pain meds looking for relief, Symproic does work, and for the first time has not caused withdrawal symptoms like all the other OIC meds up until this point. I have tried them all including self-injection. Nothing else has worked until I started taking Symproic, even under unusually difficult circumstances. What patients need to know is that before it can really work, you need to be somewhat cleaned out. A mineral oil enema, or purified water that you can make at home with an enema bag will do the trick. If you get really backed up, I suggest seeing a colon hydrotherapist. You can find them online, just make sure they’re licensed. I’ve been taking Symproic for two months, and for the most part it has worked and it feels natural. No side effects except bloating just before I go."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "It works fine. I am having to take it longer than anticipated. Concurrently, continuing high-fiber diet and probiotic diet. Really helped bloating and gas."
