See your doctor and possibly a therapist to help with whatever caused you to become addicted. If you have been taking them for weight control/body image issues, you might want to find a therapist who specialized in eating disorders and addictions. (see link below).
Apart from being potentially addictive, the long term side-effects of abusing laxatives are many. Mild symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and flatulence. More serious medical dangers include persistent consipation (because the body is now dependent on laxatives for its bowel movements), chemical imbalances in the blood and dehydration. Chemical imbalances arise from a loss of salts and minerals can seriously affect the body’s electrolyte system. Abuse of lubricant laxatives can lead to a coating on the intestinal wall and this may impair vitamin absorption.
Get help. Good luck!

By taking laxatives daily you can do severe damage to your bowels. you won't be able to go to the bathroom without them and if you have constant diarrhea then you can cause severe damage to your colon. Pain pill addiction or any addiction is like being addicted to coke or meth..any of them. It is hard to get off of anything you are addicted to without the help of someone. If you stop taking pain pills, you will go through withdrawals and may need detox. You body goes through some heavy stuff and might need to be hospitalized. Don't wait any longer..get help now before you kill yourself. And that will happen.

I have never, but have had patients who have been addicted to laxatives. They feel they have to have them every day to go and focus on that only. You should try more fiber in your diet. If you are addicted to pain pills, please go and see your doctor.
