My daughter was 7 years old at the time. I could not at the time figure out what was causing her to be so changed. My husband and I feared for our lives those around us and her younger brother especially. There was an incident that sent me into a tail spin one day. We were leaving a football game which she cheers for and her brother played and I heard this loud banging sound from the rear of our expedition. At first I thought the vehicle had something wrong with it and then I looked in the rear mirror and saw my child trying to kick the back window out of our car. I immediately pulled over and asked what are you doing? She said I want to jump out this car. I was horrified at that moment! We went home and went to her room. My husband and I were trying to figure out what could cause our normally happy child to do such a thing. Then we started going through what was different. What was different was the Miralax! I tried very hard to contact the doctor who had prescribed it for her and he would return my calls. I found out later his nurse was not passing my messages forward. I went to my family physician and all he could do was praise the medication. I asked him to do blood work on her and he refused. I was very distraught to say the least. I decided to take the medication to the pharmacy that filled it and asked them to test the medication and to please let me know if it was tanted. They did and we found that there was nothing wrong with the drug, however what we did learn was that the medication was not recommended for children! I had written a letter to the pharmaceutical company and and had recieved written information from them that it should not be given to children. My pharmacist encouraged me to look at other options and I did. We found that even though was on Miralax only a short time it took her several months to ween herself off of the side effects. What we found through trial and error is that she has a lactose intollerance and have found terrific altenatives to using medications. I feel fortunate that we found out sooner than later than most. All my best wishes to those trying to ween their children off of what our family calls poison!
