Comparing Bisacodyl vs Docusate

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 Do not take this medicine. Took one at 9pm last night and woke up at 4am with the worst abdominal pain I have ever experienced. It carried on throughout my working day and still has not subsided over 24 hours later. It worked but the indescribable amount of pain made it so not worth it!!

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.
