SSRIs and Stomach Ulcers

I have some pretty annoying stomach pain... I imagine if it was actually an ulcer I'd know about it (?) but Maalox and Tums don't work, and eating something only relieves it for a few minutes.

I think I should get it checked out, but I wonder if it's worth going to drug therparies or endoscopy or something. But it is annoying... Stimulants exaccerabte symptoms, especially Ritalin and Desoxyn. Adderall less so.

Oh, well, um, as I write this, I didn't get any pain all day. It's something I only ruminate on the weekdays, which is when I take a stim... ussually I take adderall, which isn't too bad, but still causes some mild pain. Ritalin's pretty bad. And Desoxyn, oh boy, my stomach was not built to digest meth, as I discovered- so that's been quit totally.

So no, no ulcer. Silly utopizen gets rather hyperchondriactic when he has stomach pain from meds, and tends to forget he ussually doesn't feel any pain without meds.
