Should i increase the dose of citrucel to twice a day for constipation? Winding myself out of merilax and want to stay regular.

In brief: Not really

I would not use any more bulk laxative than the directions indicate.
More is not necessarily better. I suggest good hydration, a balanced diet, and physical activity . Regularity varies from person to person, so don't think you must have a movement every day. Good luck.
