Brief Answer:
Never cold turkey any medication rather always taper it off.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns,
As per your query you have been taking the laxative for months and then instead of gradually decreasing the dose you stopped it cold turkey.
This would not allow your body to understand what happened.
Continue taking molaxole in doses one fourth you were taking earlier and slowly slowly decrease it further every 3-4 days and then stop it.
Thank you!
