For Opioid-Induced Constipation "I took Symproic once, and I ended up in the hospital. My small intestines and large intestines were severely inflamed. After I took it, I had extreme abdominal pain, nausea, sweats, and chills. My gastroenterologist told me never to take this medication again. From my personal experience, I do not recommend this medication. I was in the hospital for 5 days after this. The experience I had was worse than childbirth."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "Background: 6 ft tall male, 37 yo, 210 lbs, type 2 diabetic, father of 3, IT tech, MBA. Review: This stuff is awesome. Had to go to the ER 3 times in the last 12 months for dehydration, abdominal pain, vomiting, migraines, and an overall very sick feeling, only to be told I was constipated. I am not sure about the other review because my experience is completely different from their description. It's like it's COMPLETELY NATURAL, but it works, EVERY TIME LIKE CLOCKWORK! Where before, when using OTC meds and eating pudding, it would take days and hours of excruciating pain on the pot trying to desperately force out a dinosaur-sized egg and feeling terrible like my body was poisoning itself. Get rid of that cheese and meat, baby, TODAY!"

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "Was taking Movantik for a while and was still constipated for years when my pain management physician asked me to try Symproic a year and a half ago. It began working right away without any side effects; however, after taking it for a year, I began having short bouts of diarrhea, constant nausea, and bilateral flank pain. Last summer, the diarrhea was frequent and at certain times very painful, lasting for days. Then I started feeling sick, and these episodes started occurring every few days. Just recently, I realized maybe Symproic was the cause. I stopped it and went back to Movantik four weeks ago. Since stopping Symproic, I haven't had any diarrhea. But the downside is now I'm constipated again. The Symproic worked well for my constipation for many months, great, then all the side effects started and are just too hard on my body. Is there something else that works for opioid-induced constipation?"
