For Constipation "Will never take again. Took 2 pills 2 hours ago and am in the worst pain ever. The pain is so severe it's coming through my back. I'm doubled over on the floor of my bathroom. I can't even get up. How is there not a lawsuit after all these reviews? I barely have used the bathroom. If pain gets much worse, I am going to the emergency room. It is so bad, and it is not my lower stomach. It's from my belly button up and coming out my back. Do not use this stuff. It will hurt you. It is dangerous."

For Constipation "Worst experience EVER! I took 2 of them on Sunday night around 8 pm. I had several bowel movements the next morning when I woke up. Felt fine. As I began my day, I started to feel queasy. I had a light breakfast and drank some tea. By noon, I was throwing my guts up and blood too. After I threw up, I was fine, there was nothing on my stomach. I ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup, crackers, and ginger ale... couldn't even keep it down an hour and threw it all back up. Mine was coming up and not out. Around 6 pm, I ate a few more crackers and ginger ale because I was so weak. I broke out in a horrible sweat, and it was coming out of both ends. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I will use natural products in the future."

For Constipation "I took one last night, only worked a little, took one more today, hope it works by morning without bad side effects. I used to take 2 laxatives at once but experienced faintness, nausea, and severe hot flashes. So I only will take one and not repeat the dose for at least 12 hours."

For Constipation "Horrible stomach cramping and the urge to vomit, but never did. I think I would have rather stayed constipated! Ouch!"

For Constipation "I've taken Correctol several times in my life, and it worked without any horrible side effects. I had back surgery and was on oxycodone for two years. Now, off oxycodone for over a year, I have taken Correctol. I get very 'jittery', feel like I have to vomit, and pretty heavy cramps. Using Correctol all while taking oxycodone, I had no side effects. Evidently, the oxycodone exchanges something in my body chemistry which causes me now to have bad side effects. But, the good outweighs the bad. I'll still use Correctol when I have to, but now with side effects."
