Sooo I can't sleep as usual and I am very very hungry. I now put Benisure on everything I eat. It has no smell or taste and it dissolves immediately so it is after eleven at night (way late for me) and I am boiling spaghetti. Mamma Mia!!  But I only use about a tbs of sauce becuase of acid reflux and I still love it. And I am now drinking water big time. Constipation can be a serious problem I am finding out and it is someting we all need to keep our eyes out for. Especially with all the meds. And please never be embarrassed to talk to somone on here if it becomes a problem for you. Either as a thread or a private message. We are all in this together and we are all going to be experiencing alot of evil side effects in some form or fashion.
Of course you ladies will have a few more or less than us guys but we will support ya anyway!!!  Chin UP!!

Saw this and just wanted to tell you that my doctor put me on GLYCO-LAX for the problem of constipation. He says that my pain doctor should have put me on this the very first day they started prescribing me narcotics. I take one capful in a glass of water every day and it really does help. I voiced concerns about taking any kind of laxative because I didn't want my body to become dependent on them and he said that I was right to be concerned about that but that this doesn't work the way a laxative does and therefore no dependence to the body like a laxative will cause.
My Part D insurance covers this and only cost me two bucks. Also, it doesn't have any taste. It does make the water taste heavy, if that makes any sense at all.... all you take is a capful in a 8 ounce glass of water.
Hope this helps and you really need to talk to your doc about it.
