Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Hi, I have become concerned enough about Miralax that I am considering just taking my son off cold turkey. If this is not addictive as my doctor suggests than would there be any harm in just quitting without weaning off? He is stuttering so bad that he can't get a word out. He may in fact be a true stutterer but if there is any chance that this is causing it I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Does anyone have any opinions on how long he would have to be off for us to notice any neurological changes? I know this is risky as far as the constipation goes but for the short term I would like to try and see what happens. Also, sometimes I wonder if his constipation isn't psychological because if he hears me talking about reducing the dose he panics and tells me not to. What do you guys think? By the way, it may be helpful for you to know that he is almost 11, been on Miralax for years (maybe 5), has a speech disorder called apraxia, is otherwise healthy, eats a very balanced diet (loves fruits and vegies). Thanks for your input, Dawn Quote
