Having had 5 back surgery's and a spinal hematoma that left me temporarily paralyzed from the waist down in Feb '13 I have been on high doses of opiates for many years and have had years of problems with opiate induced constipation. I found this drug the first med to finally help with that problem. In approx 20 min. it induces a BM that totally cleans me out. The doctor had me on fiber pills that were negatively impacting the effectiveness of this med, but when I took myself off the fiber, this med once again started working quite effedtivly. Resilitor is the only med I have tried that has truly been effective for this problem and it has been a real life safer for me. I don't know what I would do now without it.

Recently I have had severe vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal cramps and dry heaving leading to dehydration resulting in a visit to the ER. The 2nd occurrence of this was only after I have had my shot. After speaking to the pharmacist, we realized this was a side effect. Therefore stopped taking this and am hoping that Linzess 290 mg 1x a day and MiraLAX will be sufficient.

I have 6 bad disc, bone spurs and slight scoliosis in my spine. AKA...lots of pain. I've had severe pain for over 15 years and finally started pain meds about 6 years ago. Constipation has been severe an chronic. I like natural remedies but have none to help with narcotic based constipation. Day 1 Relistor...nothing. Days 2-6...1 difficult BM. Day 7...injection site rash and mild headache. Days 8-11....continued rash and worsening headache to the point that low lights and sounds caused pain to the point of wanting my constipation and back pain combined over Relistor. Day 12...permanent discontinuation. Day 13 and 14... headache vanished and injection site rash improving. Can't wait to see prescribing MD in 10 days. I will tell him if he wishes to kill me just use a gun. I will continue to seek other constipation meds.....BUT NEVER RELISTOR.

I've been on high dose pain meds since 2001 and knew I had constipation as a side effect, but it wasn't until I was able to lose a large amount of weight that I realized just how backed up and bloated I was.

I've been on high dose pain meds since 2001 and knew I had constipation as a side effect, but it wasn't until I was able to lose a large amount of weight that I realized just how backed up and bloated I was. I heard of this medication online and asked my pain management Dr for it. He had no issues giving it to me. It took me a couple weeks to get the nerve to try it because of the side effects I've read, but I've not had any. This medication has been a godsend! It was recommended to use a laxative prior to help clean things out some, which decreases cramping from your body trying so hard to deficate. I now look forward to my injection every other day! I only need to go every other day because it works so well.
