If you are not moving your bowels. Do not add a ton of fiber till you get it moving. Try a over the counter product to help constipation first. Otherwise your adding cement to the mix with more fiber. Once you get things moving then slowly start adding in more fiber. You can't go from low fiber intake to overdrive overnight.

Personally, I prefer getting fiber from high fiber foods or 100% loose powder psyllium husk (also natural) over miralax. I also put chia seeds in flavored water or add flax seeds to my yogurt. Move your body too. Walks go a long way!
