Laxative reduction

A consultant two years ago and my present doctor tell me to reduce my daily dose of Laxido (Movicol) from 2+ sachets per day to 1 sachet, and I want to do so. But I increased the dose from 1 per day several years back because it wasn't effective any more, and if I try to get back to one I will meet an air bubble wall on day 2,

It would be very helpful to hear from anyone who has done this successfully!

AND HOW THEY DID IT!

Many thanks!
