Answer 1

Hopefully all went well.  You should have called the doctor when the pills weren't working.    You could have had serious issues (like twisted colon or impacted colon)  That is not normal response for a prep laxative.

Answer 2

You need to call 911 or get to the hospital. Why did you take all those laxatives? When you have a colonoscopy, they give you a prep liquid to help you clean yourself out the day before. I can't believe they didn't give this to you! it is possible you have overdosed on laxatives which can take away alot of fluids very fast and cause possible harm to you. Please, call 911 or get to the hospital.

Answer 3

I agree with the other commentor, get to the hospital. That's definitely not a normal dosage of laxatives.
