Bysacodil suppositories, how much is too much?

Hey folks,

I had the pleasure of finding out I'm super into laxative suppositories, and I have a very loving partner who is more than willing to indulge me in my perverse fantasies, which has evolved into her giving me 1 dulcolax (10mg) suppository every week.

I heard that you have to be careful with it, because taking too much will lead to developing a dependence on it, which will possibly mean you can no longer have a bowel movement without laxatives, and I would really not like to end up in that situation. According to the little pamphlet that comes with the suppositories, if you have to take laxatives every day for 8 days, you should contact your doctor, which makes me believe we are well within the safe limits, and it should be ok if we occasionally do 2 a week.

What are your experiences with this?

This is absolutely true.

I don't think if you'd take it once per week, it would make your body grow accustomed to it. But of course , I am not a doctor 😃

Enjoy, but please be careful! 😃

It’s spelled “bisacodyl”.

They write the 8 day passus in the pamphlet to get you clarify the cause of constipation with a doctor.

There are studies out there stating bisacodyl is effective even in long term use and long-term users doesn't have to adjust dosage taking more to get a bowel movement.

Great to see some answers, thank you everyone. (and also still interested to hear from others' experiences)
