Hi, I am in the same boat. Been on Percocet for 10 years. My doctor suggested a good Magnesium with a Senna 3 times a day. OMG I use a 400 mg Magnesium and it works incredibly well!!! Now just 1 Magnesium/day and maybe 1 Senna every other day and constipation is history. Plus, it's all natural and good for other health things as well!!
All the Best, Jim

I take 300 mg of Magnesium daily, plus the one cap of Miralax. Not sure how much the Magnesium helps, however I have been instructed to stop all supplements next week for 7 days in prep for an outpatient surgery. Sigh. Don’t want to stop the magnesium, but it works as a blood thinner, from I’ve read. I had no idea.
