For Constipation "I took docusate after surgery for stool softener, then for constipation with pain medicine. NAUSEA! I thought it was pain medicine causing it, it wasn't. It was this stool softener! Had medicine for nausea. That was worse side effects. Stopped stool softener, no nausea anymore and no constipation! It wasn't brand name Colace. It was docusate sodium. Has anyone experienced such a horrible side effect? No vomiting, just dry heaves. Thank goodness I discovered what the problem was."

For Constipation "I was recently prescribed this medication to aid in not being constipated. But it's beyond nasty and makes me feel sick, and I'm not just unable to vomit, but I cannot get the taste out of my mouth."
