Experiences with

Miralax

Take Miralax daily but results are disappointing. Bloating hasn’t decreased in about 12 days. Any tips? Thank you

I’m eating prunes, drinking Miralax and resorting to ExLax and things are still a struggle. Drinking tons of water also. Anyone have a surefire tip? It will get better, won’t it? Again, sorry for the unsavory topic.

Could not tolerate this daily due to terrible constipation even with Colace or MIralax. I have switched it to every other day but still struggling with the constipation. Maybe this will play in my favor for getting an iron infusion! LOL I am now taking 600 mg Gabapentin every evening at 7 pm.

Nothing is working now and today district nurse camw to administer an enema… that didn’t work as of 6 hours later so I’m googling district nurse coming back In morning to try a second Miralax enema and said may need phosphate enema but how we manage it going forward if this is now the new normal Found

My doctors disagree with one another - one says take Miralax every day. That was my gastroenterologist. Colo-rectal surgeon says - stop that right away, it's not meant for long term - take Metamucil. Years ago I took Metamucil and ended up almost with a blockage. My problem is motility.

Constipated and working on that with Miralax. I called the oncology infusion nurse and then the doctors (oncologist) office called back to schedule an appointment in 4 days!?!? I’m going to call them back. He’s not a complainer and a pretty tough guy. Any advice on what to ask for.

They recommended a miralax clean out. I completed and did feel like i passed the majority. Still seeing some blood, and recontacted PCM. They still haven't seen me but did refer to GI. I can't get in with GI till June 5th! The worst of the stomach pain is over just generalized discomfort.

I do MiraLAX and stool softeners and magnesium 200mg daily. Since I backed off on the binder, the constipation went away. I totally watch what I consume and even got rid of my daily oatmeal. I am sure they will try to tell me to do more dialysis.

Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water, miralax and occasional stool softener. I'm certain I have either hemerrhoids so bad they need surgery or some sort of fissure or fistula We shall see. I am grateful I found a woman (who wants to go into this specialty?)

I have been unable to make miralax work well. I was up to 4 caps daily and nothing, then doc added lactulose which did clean out some (despite diarrhea still very bloated and full of shit) but caused terrible nocturnal leg cramps.

I have taken miralax (moderate constipation from abiraterone) every night to empty my bowels and filled my bladder daily as directed.

I took a colon prep amount of Miralax last week with no movement at all. I had to press into my abdomen to squeeze out the fluid that had built up. This also produced a long strand of what looked like my intestines in the toilet.

I take Miralax (Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple of days, then Sennekot with Senna once per week to clear things out. Is there any advice you can share. I eat plenty of fibre which comes from fruit.

Nothing I take works dulcolax miralax and movicol. I decided picolax is my last resort I only took one sachet and felt a lot of water coming out after fifteen minutes o been going to the toilet but only watery liquid is coming out. I have been taking a lot of movicol so idk if that’s the reason.

I am now taking Mirapex as well as Pregabalin for my severe RLS. I had to stop using Sinemet because of the augmentation and now I am beginning to suffer the same with Mirapex. I am having occasional outbreaks of RLS in the afternoons and early evening . I cannot predict when this might occur. It is

My bio is in here already. Somehow the site wouldn't let me in unless I joined again. I left my last note that I was going to see another neurologist at Kaiser. Unfortunately we get lumped in with sleep medicine. I saw him for 8 months. He knew very little about RLS, was more interested in getting

I have been a reader for close to a year. I was diagnosed with PD about 2 years now. I am on .375 mg of Mirapex 3 pills at night. I am doing well with exercise and diet also. I was considering doing the NAD+ IV therapy which is 5 days of 1000mg with a vitamin infusion with glutathione. Has anyone had

I was diagnosed with PD in March 2022 and six months later I developed restless leg syndrome. I have been taking Mirapex (Pramipexole) for it and it works well except that it has caused too much weight gain. My MDS just wrote me a prescription for Lyrica (for RLS). I wanted to know if anyone else

After that I went on Miralax at doc's orders and eating well. I even took Milk of Magnesia to move things along. Doc said that was a little harsh and to try and stick with the Miralax. Now, new symptom.

I went 3 times, all was "normal" but soft from the Miralax and Colace (every other day). I ended up lying down and sleeping like a rock with chills for about 2 hours. Woke up and felt weak but literally wonderful with my body cleaned out like that.
