Yes, stimulant laxatives are bad because they are very harsh,
but they will clean you out in a short period of time.However,
as you found,it's not very pleasant. Osmotic laxatives, like
Miralax aren't bad though, but they do not clean you out in
a short period of time like the stimulant ones do. Also, you
can take them on a daily basis without ill effect. Well
almost, abruptly stopping them wouldn't be such a good
idea, but they can be easily phased out over a period of
time. -Bob
