I have IBS, lactose intolerance, and pending rectocele and rectal prolapse surgery.
I am pretty severely depressed and have only been treated monotherapeutically. I feel I need to try a combo and everything suggested is appetite stimulating.
I'm going to d.c. desipramine as it's creating an insatiable appetite. I'm distended, so uncomfortable all the time, and literally 'full of it'! (Yep, in more ways than one; I know.) I'm on a very low dose too, but guessing it's prob' built up in my bloodstream. Believe I've been on 2-3mos.
I guess all TCAs have high probability of this sort of side effect.
Also had thought Effexor-XR w/ the TCA or w/ Remeron (also appetite stimulating).
I've been drinking 'at least' three bottles of drinking water a day and taking 600 mg magnesium w/ silica at h.s., and it had been very helpful for quite a while. Seems to have stopped working. I've wondered if taking 1200mg mag w/ silica a day would be harmful.
Are there any weapons out there anyone might suggest?
thanks, cf
