Stop taking them at all. Truly. This is the only way to decrease your tolerance. The higher your intolerance - the longer it will take for your tolerance levels to return to semi-normal states. This may take several months to a few years. I'm not sure if you would actually be able to achieve a "normal" tolerance again. I don't know enough about body chemistry and the way neurotransmitters work.

Why do opiates make you constipated?

Opioids increase the amount of time it takes stool to move through the gastric system. They increase nonpropulsive contractions in the middle of the small intestine (jejunum) and decrease longitudinal propulsive peristalsis - motions critical to moving food through the intestines. This results in food that fails to travel through the digestive tract. Opioids are also able to partially paralyze the stomach (gastroparesis) so that food remains in the digestive organ for a longer period of time. Additionally opioids reduce digestive secretions and decrease the urge to defecate.
