I never had a problem with verapimil, however this Oxy-Contin (as My mentor and friend Bobp said) will lock you up tighter than Fort Knox.
I suffered with this delemha for several months,taking stool softeners and natural Laxitives like Senokot-s, they never touched it, then when the worst thing that could happen to me ,in fact did, I was in real trouble with blockage, it had gotten so bad that the pressure from the monster blocked my ability to urinate,so you can imagine how big this thing had grown to,
Well I thought this is it I'm going to die from this pain and toxemmia.
One of my elder friends told me how to deal with the immediate problem(Not something I could discuss) lets just say I understand what child birth is like now! Oh My God!
So then I tried her home remidy, 4 oz. of Prune juice and 2 1/2 tablespoons of Milk of magnisia warmed in the microwave to about the temp of coffee, well it has done the trick and a small glass of Prune juice daily keeps me regular! I hope this will help you, I assure you it did me! Pappy
