I tried a half-dose of Miralax daily. To do so, I measured a full dose in teaspoons, which = 4 1/2 teaspoons. So a half dose is 2 1/4 teaspoons. Now I take 3 1/2 teaspoons daily, which is a good balance for me, along with twice daily psyllium or Citrucel. I was also taking 4 oz of prune juice in the morning but stopped due to it's high sugar content.
