Why did you take so: Why did you take so much? One packet is 17 gram. Please call poison control at 1-800-222-1222 for further guidance.

Maybe: Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is dosed in grams. You posted that you took 51 milligram, which is 0.051 grams. Normal dose is 17grams once a day. If you took 51 grams, then you took about 3 times the normal dose, but it should not harm you. It is an inert substance designed to pull water into the bowels to relieve constipation. If anything you might experience mild loose stool or diarrhea for a day or so.

Miralax (polyethylene glycol) use: The usual recommended dose is 17 grams at a time however I have my patients take a whole bottle of Miralax (polyethylene glycol) within one day, which usually cleans out everything, when preparing for a colonoscopy.

Yes, too much: The standard dose of miralax (polyethylene glycol) is 17grams once a day taken in a full glass of water as needed for constipation. You may get diarrhea if you took 51 grams (your questions said mg but I am assuming that you meant grams).

Miralax (polyethylene glycol): Hi, the usual dose of Miralax (polyethylene glycol) is 17grams a day, it's advised not take more than that as it might cause diarrhea and therefore dehydration, especially in your case with history of syncope which could make it worse. I don't see any interaction between Prozac, Klonopin and Miralax (polyethylene glycol).

On purpose?: I agree with Dr. Hashemi, UNLESS you were taking too much on purpose to hurt yourself. Also if you got confused and weren't thinking properly when you did it, that is also not good. So if either of those occurred please call your doctor now!
