Has anyone had success getting off laxatives???

Has anyone had success getting off laxatives???

Hi there, have you or anyone else actually had success in getting off laxatives.
If so, can you please advice whats the procedure you took and how long did it take you to have regular natural bowel movements and whether you put on any weight?
I have been taking them for 2 1/2 years and now i am trying to get off them by taking high fibre, high water, moderate excercise diet but I am also scared ill put on weight ! :(
Thankyou...

You need to get into therapy because you are still overly concerned about your weight.  This will help you in many ways.   Take care
