A member asked:

I have been taking laxatives for a couple months now for weight loss. would there be withdrawal if i stopped?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See yourMD: I would suggest that you stop and see your md this is not a smart way to lose weight...Ask your doctor for help. Please do not continue down this path!
