Naloxegol for Opioid-Induced Constipation "Within 40 minutes, I was in the bathroom with profuse sweating and intense abdominal pain. It is now 5 hours later, and the abdominal pain is still there. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Please take this off the market!"

Naloxegol for Constipation, Drug Induced "So for constipation, 10 stars! It worked fast too, but if you are not taking your pain pills, do not take! I thought I'd be okay with the fentanyl patch in my system as I had not needed one of my oxycodone that day, and I had horrible side effects of withdrawal symptoms, fever, chills, couldn't get warm, then would sweat real bad, it was terrible. I thought I had an infection again because those side effects mimic infection too. Today I really want to take one but am scared. Should I take it BEFORE I take my pain pills? What works best? I'm already constipated, don't need to be feeling sick also! Thanks!"

For Constipation, Drug Induced "Absolutely awful!! I'm on methadone, and I'm not really sure these medications go well together. Yes, I'm certainly no longer constipated, but the stomach pain, more like burning from the inside out. I've had children, and this was bad. I very nearly phoned for an ambulance, had sweat pouring off me, this went on for a good 2 and a half hours. The stomach pain, that is, the sweating and chills a few hours. I took this medication today before I had my methadone, this was only the second tablet I'd taken, the first one I had 2 days before gave me really bad stomach and intestinal pain for around an hour, bad but just bearable. It must be very strong, as I went to the toilet within 30 minutes, had diarrhea all night. I also had it today several times. I read that you're more likely to have severe reactions to Moventik while on methadone. Great for constipation. Not if you're on methadone, though. I was put straight on to 25 mg, perhaps that's too high, or maybe a doctor should see you in person, not just over the phone, when prescribing."
