See below: Not exactly overdose, but Miralax can have side effects. You may consult this site for symptoms for which you should consult your doctor. Drink plenty of water so that there is less likelihood of obstruction. https://www.rxlist.com/miralax-side-effects-drug-center.htm For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
