Hi everyoneSmiler My takedown surgery was two months ago (april 16th), and my Surgeon just prescribed tincture of opium. He wants me to take .5ml every six hours. I was taking benefiber, and 8 immodium a day. I am nervous to take it. Just wondering if anyone else is taking it? Also, how does it effect you? I am a stay at home mom, and don't want to be all loopy while I am taking care of my kiddos. However, being in the bathroom on the toilet every 20 minutes isn't great either! Any thoughts or advice would be greatSmiler Thank you

Do a search here on tincture of opium or opium. (Here is one here.) There have been a number of people who've used them and I don't recall that any of them ever said it made them loopy. Perhaps you could try them out when you have family or friends around so if something seems out of wack you'll have someone to help you out. I think the dose is low enough that it doesn't have the 'high' effects. If it affects you, maybe you could lower the dose?

I hope you find something that works for you.

have taken it, no issues at all and I'm tiny and drugs usually affect me dramatically. No issues with tincture of opium- well other than it has to be the nastiest thing I have ever tasted. So have something ready to eat or drink right there. It definitely helped in slowing down transit time for me. Kind of a nuisance though cause you have to carry it around in a bottle and a dropper as I was taking it several times a day.
