well any way i recently had bleeding from my bottom, went to the dr. he sent me to another dr. and then a colonoscopy.did the prep ,went to the proceedure,and after waking up ,they told me it was a poor prep ,5 days later ,a different prep and into sleep land and when i was woke up they said poor prep he could only get half way .and anyone in my shoes would think i was empty.but wasnt.at that point i was put on amitiza .it has cleaned me out good now i wait to see what they will do about the hemeroids.look they make fenagram for nausia , so if you have savere stopped up problems try the amitiza it does help....believe me when i say in one day i lost over 8 lbs. of weight not to say how much i lost the second day. with anyone on duragesic for a long time fiber is the enemy ...it does the opposite of normal .you will continue to clog if ya eat high fiber which most dr.s recomend...trust me sincerely mrs bailey

Mrs. Bailey,
Thank you very much for writing to us about your experience. For those who don't know, duragesic is the generic name for the fentanyl transdermal (skin patch) pain medicine. Here is the drugs.com page for it:

Unfortunately, I do not see constipation listed as a side effect; did your doctor talk to you about this ahead of time? Are you now on a fiber-restricted diet?
