SSRI's and Stomach Problems

Hi everyone

First off I have a low stomach acid and a hiatus hernia since I was a teenager and since depression arrived a few months back my GP started my on Sertraline for but could only stick them for 4 weeks because of wild headaches, dizziness and nausea. Now Fluoxetine is giving me serious bloating constipation maybe because of my IBS. My mood is a bit better and was thinking is there an antidepressant that's kinder on the stomach, any advice welcome.?

I had digestive issues and low-stomach acid and candida for years. I take Betaine Hydrochloride and digestive enzymes with each protein meal. I also take a good probiotic. When I take my meds in the morning, I then drink a cup of coffee to help dissolve them.
