Hi PN
>When do you think I should try going without the Miralax?
In all honesty.......... never! Tolerance to the constipating effect of opioids doesn't usually develop.
>.........should I taper down, using it every other day or using half as much, etc?
Aim for a dose of MiraLax which allows you to painlessly pass soft stools on a regular (!) basis ie. similar to your usual frequency in the unmedicated state.
>Ed: I hope you're doing well!
Not bad thank you :-) .......but I've got a mild virus :-(
Warm regards
Ed
