I have IBS-constipation and am having a colonoscopy in 2 days time. Decided to start prep early so I am not worrying the day before if the prep is going to work. Took 3 Dulcolax (as the instructions state) and about 3 hours after suffering from cramps it kicked in big time and I was feeling like I was going to die because of nausea, vomiting and feeling hot and cold sweats. While in between going I was collapsed on my bed with my fan on to get rid of the hot sweats. Things have slowed down now but I am FREEZING COLD. I am sitting here in my apartment wrapped up in my Winter coat and blankets and cannot seem to get warm. This is by far one of the worst preps I have done besides the Golytly stuff for my first colonoscopy years ago. I am supposed to drink Miralax mixed with Gatorade but don't think I can handle it in my stomach. Anyone have any experience at all with this prep and the side effects? I put a call into my doctor a couple hours ago and have not heard back from him yet.
