    I looked at the side effects of your laxative and although it mentions sweating, it doesn't list fatigue as a reaction. It sounds more likely that the fatigue is down to being constipated. Constipation can cause tiredness. Perhaps try plenty of fluids to help flush the laxative out of your system
