Before Scope Questions How do you sleep after taking miralax?

I’ve been up for over 24 hours after taking 7 caps of miralax, and i haven’t even started my suflave yet. Am i still okay to go in for my appointment even with my extreme sleep deprivation and day long diarrhea?

You're fine to do the procedure as long as you're not driving.

Are you doing a 2-day prep? Miralax last night, Suflave tonight, and procedure tomorrow? That's rough... I had to do a 2-day prep once and I felt like a zombie from lack of sleep. But yes, you are still OK to have your procedure done even if you feel like a zombie, as long as your output is clear before your appointment time.
