What are the symptoms of chronic stimulant laxative abuse?

In: Medication and Drugs, Symptoms [Edit categories]

Answer:

LAXATIVE ABUSE

IF YOU TAKE laxatives all the time, your body will becoome "addicted" to them, and then when you don't take them, you will get constipated, and be unable to have a normal bowel movement, unless you take more laxatives. You should start "weening" yourself off of them slowly and let your body adjust to having normal bowel movements. It's not good to keep taking laxatives, UNLESS you have a specific medical condition and your doctor tells you to take them regularly.
