Mixing a stool softener with a stimulant laxative is usually the perfect solution. If the senna isn’t working you could try swapping from that to bisacodyl for your stimulant. Also could try switching from the clear lax to a magnesium stool softener (sometimes they come in chews).
But also, not being able to wait on dosing until you go is really shitty (yes a pun
). If you can find a day to wait that would be better….
I wouldn’t do all the enemas unless you’re SURE the poo is already in the colon or lower GI. if you’re doing an enema and nothing is coming out, then the blockage is probably higher up than the enema can reach and more isn’t going to help.
Only other thing I can think of is possibly adding some Metamucil into the mix. I prefer the fiber cookies. They come in 3 flavors! Taking 2 packs a day with plenty of fluids can definitely help.
