Comparing Bisacodyl vs MiraLax

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 I have had very painful Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation for most of my life and have gone as long as three weeks without a bowel movement. It hasn't responded to changes in diet, exercise regimens, or fiber supplements. (In fact, the fiber made it much worse!) Other laxatives either don't work or wring me out for days. My doctor prescribed Miralax in 2008 and I have taken it daily ever since with no problem. I still don't go every day, but when I do go the stool is soft, and the motion is easy and painless. I expect to take Miralax forever, and have no problem doing so. It's a beneficial, versatile medication that's definitely worth a shot if you're battling constipation.

For Constipation I have chronic constipation due to medications mainly my pain medications and I take miralax on occasion and it works but for me takes a full 3 days for it to kick in and get my bowels moving again. I recommend taking this as soon as you get constipated for some it works as soon as 12 hours. I've had no issues with Miralax and it works for me.
