Remember every medicine comes at the cost of side effects.. stop using any laxative .. better would be to focus on ur diet .. and ur fissure and hemmorhoids need to be addressed .. visit a nearby surgeon as it may need surgical removal also.. meanwhile while operating surgeon does manual dilatation and sphincterotomy which eases out the constipation
Next Steps
Meanwhile get ur thyroid checked
