IME, yes, BUT (BIG BUT) everyone is different, and the constipation (IMO) is NOTHING compared to the other side effects of antidepressants & antiseizures. Antidepressants & antiseizures can also (believe it or don't) be ultimately (all things considered) more difficult to get off of than opioids if/when addiction is not the issue.
