My doctor wants me to have a colonoscopy this week. The instruction sheet states the day before the test take 4 Dulcolax pills and drink 4 ounces of Miralex mixture. 6 hours before the test drink 8 ounces of the Miralex mixture every 10-15 mins. until it is gone. Do you think it would matter if I drink all the Miralex the day before? I live about 45 mins from the hospital and I am worried I could have an accident on the way to the test. I found instructions online that tells you to drink it the day before.

How long does it take recover from the test?

Thank you.

I did all of my prep the day before. It doesn't really matter when you do the prep, just once you don't eat after starting the prep.

I got sedated for the test. I was tired that night but was okay the next day. Little/no pain either. The worst part is the prep!!
