Miralax is My New Best Friend

Oh my gosh. I'm so glad I listened to you guys. I feel so much better - and I now go every day (I used to only go on Mondays). Thanks for the advice, you guys are the best!!

 What form is miralax in? Is it powder or pills or suppositories? How often do you take it?

It's a powder - I actually use the target brand, but whatever, right? It has a self measuring cap, so I take one capful every morning. I mix one water bottle of lemonade Crystal Light, and use 8oz of tha****er to mix with the miralax. I don't even taste it.

I hope you feel better soon. I really do.

If you can get your doc to write rx for the generic, I asked for 2 caps per day, since I usually spill at least one, and some months have more than 30 days!

I get SIX of those bottles for my $15 copay vs $20 per bottle

Thanks for the tip - I'll ask him about it! The Target brand isn't $20- you weren't paying that were you? It's like $7, I think. But it's still cheaper to get the rx!

This would be the 30-serving bottle, not the lil squatty one.

 Thanks both of you! I will contact my dr and see if he can prescribe that tomorrow!

 I wish I knew about the prescription thing earlier.  Before, because of the expense I only used it when things were bad.  I have found that it works better to use it daily and not wait until it is too late.  I have been 99% constipation free since I started taking it daily.  Once every several weeks or so it seems that I get constipated no matter what I do and I have to take Milk of Magnesia but I used to have to take it daily so I can live with it.  
Also, if Miralax is your new best friend you need to meet it's buddy, magnesium oxide.  I take 2 of them daily at 500 mg each and I think that has also made a difference.  I have about 5 bottles now because I got them when Puritan pride was having a buy 2 get 3 or buy 3 get 2 sale.

I heard Miralx still makes you laxative dependent
