Laxitivies

How many Laxitivies would be an overdose?

basically anything over what's recommended on the packet (usually ~2 tablets once or twice a day)
Why do you ask? You can't say how many you've taken on this board sorry. Why did you feel the need to take an OD?
Are you experiencing any symptoms from the OD?
Is there anyone you can talk to about it?
Sorry, lots of questions

Really unwise. An OD on laxatives will only make you ill. And if it's long term, even worse. A friend of a friend of mine has a colostomy bag because she abused laxatives for a long time.

im pretty much laxative dependant now because of laxative abuse, i can very very rarely go to the toilet without having taken laxatives beforehand.,
its not good, and as Oly said, you could end up with a colostomy bag, not nice.
