Yesterday, I took Miralax. The bottle says only take 1 scoop for a day. I took x. Then today, I took a lot more.
I went to college and noticed that I started to have rectal bleeding, along with diarrhea and cramps.
I came home and noticed vaginal bleeding. If it's my period, then it's about 5-6 days early.
I dunno what to do...
On the bottle of Miralax, it says to stop taking the product if rectal bleeding occurs.
I don't know if it was really my period just coming early..
If anyone has any advice, please help.

I've honestly never taken Miralax, but I definitely think you shouldn't take anymore until you go see a doctor. Seriously, it's always better safe than sorry. Take care and I hope you feel better soon <3

I know what I would do if it were me, but since it is not, I am not sure how much knowledge you have of things, your general overall health, and given the amount taken, there should be a number to call that is on the jar, if they are not helpful, call poison control, barring all else, see a doctor. Not sure what else to say, really.

Love. Has it gone away? You should always see a dr or...really should go to the ER with bloody stools. Idk if you remember but in the winter I was in the hospital for the colitis. It's a big deal. The Miralax can irritate the colon and get it all inflammed and such. Even if you can't see the blood anymore, it's possible it's still there, it's not always visible. Do you see a GI? You should call your PCP and ask for a referral, if you want I can let you know who I see, the PA is sooo good. Text me or message me if you want the name. Be careful. I love you.
As it sounds from your post as though you have taken an OD, you need to seek medical attention. An OD of any type of medication needs to be checked out, so do go and speak to a Dr, or take yourself to A&E (ER).

If the Human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we wouldn't.
It's pretty much impossible to OD on Miralax. I have had about 10 years of gastric issues and have had about every possible related medical test. When I had a colonoscopy a few years ago, in order to get "cleaned out" you mix an entire bottle of Miralax with a 64oz bottle of sports drink and drink the whole thing the day before the procedure. So, yeah... that's standard procedure for colonscopy prep, so you don't have to worry about ODing on it... just about getting cramps or the runs from using more than usual!
I woke up late... guess I'm never really early. I hesitate, ONLY TO FAIL. I get so tired of procrastinating. I need a change.
only2fail, but she had rectal and vaginal bleeding. That is not right.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
An OD is considered anything that is taken more than what the bottle says. Yes, you've had to take more because of a colonoscopy. I have too and I know you have to drink a lot (and God, it DOES suck). But the bottle for you said to drink x in x hours.
The bottle that Rai had was over the counter and the bottle said to take x scoops And she did not use it for the reason of simply relieving constipation, she has an ED. And took extra as a result of her need to purge. And if somebody begins bleeding rectally or having any abnormal side effects, it is definitely something not normal that should be medically evaluated. Especially the rectal bleeding.
