In reply to GI Problem with ALL ADs, posted by blnch on March 14, 2004, at 13:44:18
I had stomach problems so bad that I eventually had an endoscopy, upper GI' sigmoidoscopy, barium enema,etc...That was years ago:like 14yrs! Tagamet was a prescript then..Anyway, I "discovered" many years later that the Prozac and other ADs were the cause. I was always constipated and bloated during my menstrual period and it was SO much worse when on the meds. Prozac only came in 20 mgs back then.I was taking it for menstrual migraines and not depression. I never had stomach problems before I took the drugs either!.....This week I tried Ritalin a stimulant to help with this chronic fatigue and it gave me a terrible gut ache.. Provigil gives me diahrea at doses over 100 mgs.. or sometimes at 50 mgs...I can never predict! At least it "hits" within a few hours of taking it so I can plan accordingly.
