I have struggled with IBS-Constipation for about 4-5 years now. After taking prescription after prescription, I finally made my own little regimen. I just need to know if docusate sodium causes dependency? Some articles say yes and some no. If anyone knows of any sites that say it DOES NOT cause dependency, can you please let me know. Thanks :)
Answer:I don't know about the dependency but I have taken one to two pills every day for the last 3 years,It has helped eliminate my constipation.My doctor says that I can take as many a day as I need with out any problem as long as it does not have the laxative in it.
If you are constipated , try nature's own ( not) CRACK! Works in a jiffy.
