Hello, Mrs. B, I strongly recommend that you consult your pharmacist, who will be able to draw up a personalized withdrawal schedule and follow up with you closely at each stage to adjust the dose as needed. Have you tried anything for constipation or hemorrhoids? Thanks for the information! Lax-A-Day is the best option. If it's partially effective, you could use it twice a day for 1-3 days as needed. I would also encourage you to eat lots of fiber (fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc) and drink lots of fluids to soften the stool. I hope I've been of some help to you, and I'm available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
