Senna Lax Reviews

For Constipation "Took two max strength at midnight and went to sleep shortly after. 4 hours later I woke up with the most severe cramps imaginable! I felt like an alien was ripping my bowels and colon up! I've never experienced cramp so bad in my life anywhere in my body. I was moaning in pain laying down with my knees bent up in-between trips to the toilet to see if I could shift anything to relieve the cramps but nothing came except the pain. I took the recommended dosage and followed the instructions. 6 hours later I went to the toilet ( a few times in a row) Was it worth the pain? Not in my experience I used the max strength senokot 2 tablets."


For Constipation "This was my basically last go to option after having constipation for 3 weeks. Being super worried I thought that I might as well use this laxative since at least it would work for now. I was wrong. And yes, for all those other people saying people don't know how to use it; I did drink. I actually drank water like crazy, so that's not the issue. I just spend 25 dollar on these stupid pills without any result. Don't buy this crap. Super overpriced junk that doesn't lead to any solution."


For Constipation "I took two pills of the Senna Lax about 5 hours ago, at like 3:30am. Before that I'd been on and off constipated and gone to the hospital twice for severe nausea and stomach cramps. These pills worked within an hour for me, even though it says it takes 8-12 hours to kick in. The stomach cramping hasn't bothered me yet because I've had stomach cramps for almost a week now. So, sadly I'm already used to it. I've had 3 bowel movements within the last 4 hours. I was kinda scared to take it too because of the side effects and my history with horrible IBS. But so far, so good."


For Constipation "Worst stomach pain I have ever felt! Also very nauseous! Stomach pain is not relieved with using the restroom. I have a stomach disorder so I know stomach pain very well. Would never use again."
