Hi everyone. I have had excellent luck for the past seven months with being on 150mg of Tramadol and 600mg of horizant. This combination seems to work very well for me. I have had absolutely no RLS for the past 7 months. Been able to sleep well every night. And sometimes even take a nap.
My problem is OIC for those who don't know that's opioid-induced constipation. I've been on several stool softeners a couple of different laxatives and nothing seems to help with any regularity. I've tried Metamucil, Miralax, Colace and generic type stool softeners. Does anyone have anything that works for them? The last time I check with the doctor, he sent me out a prescription which I was anxious to try, but it was very expensive. So when I ask him for something generic or less expensive he suggested the Metamucil and another stool softener. No help.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be open to them. At this stage it seems I am never completely empty. It's very hard to keep trying, and it makes you very lethargic.
I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks so much,
