Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Arne - My mag citrate experience would prompt me to check into a hotel before the Miralax the night before and LONG before a 45 minute drive so soon after mag citrate! I am very cheap, but the hotel, under these circumstances, would be well worth the expense. One other thought - mag citrate is easier to tolerate when very cold, than room temp. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Arne -- I agree with Joanne on the mag citrate. It is thorough, but rough stuff and I don't think I would want to get in the car so soon after taking it. I've taken Visicol the last few times -- it is about 20 horse pills, but anything to avoid drinking those awful tasting preps. Colleen Quote
