Miralax is frequently prescribed by doctors for long term use. I believe the OTC directions are not because it is known to be dangerous for long term use, but because the symptoms it treats should be evaluated by a doctor.

I apologize completely, because I missed the part where the GP said that his daughter obtained a prescription from her physician, and I am sorry for comparing my inept supplement abuse to hers. Also it is a fluke that I informed my physicians at every step of my usage, and they failed to predict or diagnose the resultant kidney stone. Every other US physician is far more attentive and responsible and would've noticed straight away and warned me about this off-label usage.
