Comparing Bisacodyl vs Docusate

For Constipation I’m sat for the last for 19mins straining like my body’s trying to forcefully evict my colon . I made myself get off the toilet at 25mins for fear of doing actual damage and get a total of 5 steps beforehand it feels like I’m going to explode again only to have another 20mins of the worst pain and uncontrollable straining I’ve ever felt while nothing happens. I vomit down the wall of my little toilet as was I try to reach the bin in time. I’m too weak and delirious to even react as my body is taken over by forces that be. I prayed to every God I could think of in the 30mins that followed. I thought I was going to die as my mother frantically asked if I needed an ambulance. And then it happened, I passed the smallest bead of poop I’ve ever had and it was like passing a hot coal but it’s over, my body relaxed and went remotely quickly back to normal. I’m currently sat on the bathroom floor wrapped in a towel calling in sick to work and feeling truly ill. GETS THE JOB DONE!!but at a cost

For Constipation Giving it a 5 cause I did poop but I almost had to call an ambulance. Took 2 pills as I was backed up for at least 5 days. I woke up in a horrific state, Sweating profusely and on the verge of violent vomiting. I had to strip naked and lie on the bathroom floor and just puke on the floor next to me as I was too weak to get to the toilet. The abdominal pain was reminiscent of labour pains and I had to keep telling myself "you can't die from taking a laxative". I passed out praying for the pain to stop. I did get cleared out the next morning but I pulled a muscle in my back during the violent vomiting in the night.

For Constipation My wife who has Alzheimer's is trying this but is experiencing cramps at night and I suspect it is from this pill. It is softening the bowel motion but the cramping is a bit much, so will try something else.

For Constipation Because of the side effects of the meds I take to address my arthritic lumbar and cervical spine and the resulting chronic back and sciatic pain, I would be severely chronically constipated were it not for daily ingestion of: 1. a dissolvable fiber supplement 2. VERY large doses of docusate sodium 3. senna laxative Any one of the above alone was not sufficient. So I only rate this med a 6.
