Does anybody else get gas as a side effect of their meds?

Alright, so please bear with me here for a moment. I'm a teen attending college parttime, been on zoloft for about 5 years. about 3 or so years ago, I developed GI problems (acid reflux, excessive belching, IBS like symptoms).

After I eat, I get this pressure in my chest- it's relieved once I belch, until I need to belch again (approximately 30 seconds later). It's over in like 2 minutes, but feeling the gas pressing on my chest and feeling as though I can't breathe for a moment or two is very scary.

So, does anybody else get excessive belching as a side effect of zoloft? It's incredibly embarassing- I try to muffle it/keep my mouth closed, but I know others can hear it.

Is it the meds, or am I just going crazy? Most people say the side effects go away, but this has been happening for years.... Any similar experiences out there?

Hi

It could be your anxiety that is causing these symptoms so do all you can to reduce your anxiety and you may see an improvement in your other symptoms.
