Hi Mary~ I am on my 3rd week of Cymbalta. The first week I was at 30 mg and felt nauseous for the first 3 or 4 days. When I bumped up to 60 mg I, again, was nauseous for about a week. Then one day it...
Bonnie~ I wish I could say something reassuring and helpful but all I can offer is, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND! This past month I hit rock bottom. I was depressed and have health anxiety as well. I...
Kitt~ Oh great! I will have to discuss this with her when I see her next week. Though I felt so much better on Lexapro, I had horrible self esteem. So I guess the verdict is there is no such thing as...
My doctor just prescribed Cymbalta and told me it was weight neutral. Not sure how true this is, as I just started taking it. I was on Lexapro and gained weight on it....
Twiggygal~ Yes, I lost all the weight after getting off Lexapro. I think it took me about 6-8 months. Erin...
Hi all~ I saw my dr today and she prescribed Cymbalta. I have been on Lexapro with good results, but I had significant weight gain so I really would rather not go back on it. I am to take 30 mg's for...
Thank you all for the great recommendations. I have an appt with my dr tomorrow and hopefully will be on my way to feeling better. I have a history of feeling down, especially during the winter. I...
Hi everyone~ I recently posted on the depression forum and was advised to come here. This is what I wrote over there - This is my first post to this forum. Here is a little background first. I am a...
Hello everyone~ This is my first post to this forum. Here is a little background first. I am a 36 yr old female, married and mom to 2 kids (9 and 6). I have a great family. A supportive husband. I...
Hi Cathy~ Yes, the exploding part we can both do without! I was in Kohls a few months ago and got the famaliar "rumble" in my tummy. I already have big issues with pooping in public bathrooms so this...
Hi Cathy~ I so feel what you are going through. For me the sertraline (at 50 mg) makes me feel like I am pregnant. Waves of nausea and then a several hours later D. The nausea was so bad that I was...
I have been on a low dose of Sertraline and I do not do well on it. I makes my nausea worse (which is my primary compliant and symptom) and I too get diarrhea. For me it did not get better after 2...
Has anyone here tried Align? I am so desperate for relief. I am actually thinking of seeking out a different gastro doctor because I really am not sure IBS is my correct diagnosis. I suffer from...
I tried to get a script for Reglan, but my gastro won't prescribe it =( He said it can cause irreversible side effects ... paralysis of the tongue being one of them. I am so desperate for relief from...
I was so nervous the day before my colonoscopy and upper EGD, but it was a breeze. Really the worst part is the prep day. Honestly I had a full blown panic attack IN the room just prior to the...
Has any had a electrogastrogram done? I have a lot of nausea and I will be seeing my gastro at the end of this month. I have been scouring the internet looking for reasons for unexplained nausea (had...
Funny you mention IBS stopping while pregnant. It did for me too! I suffer from IBS-C (with some D thrown in there here and there for good measure) and nausea. I felt the best I have ever felt while...
Canyonbabe~ Is there a specfic probiotic that you can recommend? I am willing to try anything at this point!...
Hi Romancandle~ I am not sure I can be of much help, but I do share your pain. I have dealth with nausea since I was a kid. It comes and goes. Lately it has been bad. On occasion I have an "attack"...
Hi Sarita~ I do not notice a pattern. It is not a sharp pain, or even pain really. It is more like a bothersome ache. The last time it really bothered me was after I had eaten a very light (a muffin...
I cannot remember if in my intial post to the group I mentioned this. I went to my primary care doctor because I was having an ache (of sorts) under my right rib cage. We both thought with the...
Does anyone here have a dairy intolerance? And what are your symptoms? I battle nausea more than I care to and lately it feels more "sour" if that makes sense. Also (and this is pretty embarrassing)...
Hi Sabre~ I am so sorry IBS has taken so much away from you. I have suffered from IBS for 28 or so years. For me it is nausea and IBS-A, though I tend to have C more than D. I have been on vacations,...
Hi Sarita~ I have called my GI back to find out my other options on meds. I am simply not crazy about taking the Paxil. I did take Lexapro for mood swings in the past and still had the nausea. Funny...
Hello everyone~ I am a 35 yr old female who has recently been diagnosed with IBS. The thing is I am not that comfortable with the diagnosis. Here is a bit of background. I have dealth with nausea a...
