My last CRS (who has 30+ years of experience) said I could take colace (docusate sodium) for as long as I wanted -- the rest of my life even -- without any drawbacks. There are potential drawbacks to taking laxatives long-term, but my doc said colace just adds water to the stool, so it's not a laxative.
