I had some constipation a few days ago
that lasted for several days so I decided
to take a laxative (correctol). It was a
horrible experience! I had terrible
stomach cramping, nausea, and was having
diarrhea all night and the next day! Is
this a normal response to a laxative? I
only took 1 pill and the directions say to
take 1 to 3 pills so its not like I
overdid it or anything. Also, even now,
several days later, my stomach has felt
really weird and I've been bloated and had
back pain. Are the effects supposed to
last that long? If anyone has had a
similar experience I would love to hear
it... I cant figure out if these are
common side effects of laxatives or I just
had an extreme reaction to it. I
definitely wont be trying corretol again
any time soon!
