Laxatives can be addictive, however, not in the same way as a narcotic drug or cigarettes. The more you use laxatives the more your bowel movements will become dependent on them. A bottle may recommend taking only 2 tablets. However, after prolonged use, you will have to take more for them to work. Fairly soon you will be taking handfuls and up to a few bottles of laxatives in order to have a bowel movement. With prolonged use you will become completely dependent on laxatives in order to have a bowel movement, and you can cause yourself to become constipated permanently.
