Taking Miralax and Meta Mucil in the same day

I am unable to be very mobile and have been having frequent problems with constipation. I’ve been taking Miralax daily but it doesn’t do the job.
I’m wondering if I also take Metamucil capsules if it would help?

This problem has made me very nervous about going to the frequent doctor appointments I have. I’d appreciate any suggestions.

I took two tablespoonsful of just psyllium husk for years and was regular as clockwork, but after my recent colonoscopy I have been constipated. The fact that I developed anal fissures even before the colonoscopy has been a further aggravation.

Since being constipated after the colonoscopy I have been taking a tablespoonful of psyllium husk (generic form of Metamucil) with a teaspoonful of Restoralax (Canadian label for the American Miralax) and it has helped, but the Restoralax label indicates it should not be taken for longer than seven days. I wonder why …?
