Diarrhea while NOT in opiate withdrawal?
I am a chronic pain patient that is prescribed Hydrocodone 10 500 for pain. Today I woke up with stomach cramps, and pure liquid diarrhea has had me bed ridden for the entire day. This is odd to me, as I am usually constipated due to the opiate pain medication. I have slight stomach upset, but not vomiting....just coming from the other end yes I know...GROSSS . Additionally I have taken 4mg of immodium today, along with my normal opiate dose....and still no relief.Side note. My doc prescribed me the lowest dose of xanax recently, and I took it for 3 days as prescribed for anxiety...decided that it was not for me....and discontinued taking the xanax. Could I be in BENZO withdrawal after only 3 days? If so....it sounds kinda odd.
