Laxative abuse: 20 F: I've been struggling with lax abuse for about a year now. Is it possible to ween myself off without medical assistance? How do I go about doing so? ANS: This can be deadly esp if blood potassium has been low. I would consult with your health care team. First you will find the cause of the need for the laxative and then you can be best treated.
