Guest guest Posted November 27, 2001 Report Share Posted November 27, 2001 I use Vicodin when I have pain flare ups. I like it but it makes me really constipated. Plenty of times (like tonight for example) I could really use some pain relief but I don't take the Vicodin because of this (ahem) problem. I also have some Demerol which I have never tried. Does demerol cause constipation? Is it in the same narcotic family as Vicodin? Any suggestions? I would rather not take laxatives since I take so many pills already and the situation improves when I stop taking the Vicodin. I tried mineral oil and it did nothing. I also tried psyllium husks, a fiber supplement. It didn't work but it made me even more uncomfortable with gas. (this is so gross, sorry!) Thanks for any ideas. Miserable tonight.
