How far apart do I have to space bentyl and norco. If I take them too close together, I get terribly constipated. Yet, if I don't take the bentyl, I look as if I am carrying twin elephants,and the pressure is horrible and very painful. I cannot get surgeries I need and medical care I need because of lack of transportation and doctors not accepting my ins. I am allergic to most antidepressants used for pain, and meds like depakote don't work. Neither do lyrica or tramadol. one medical problem is advanced arthritis, scoleosis, stenosis, tear in the spinal column,and cause of barrettes esophagus, ulcers,hitatal hernia, dysphagia and dysplasia, I can't take anti inflamatories. help. cm
