Hi everyone, I've not been on here lately as I've been feeling better - until yesterday.
I was very bloated on Wednesday and felt a bit unwell ibs related I think. Last night I ended up at a and e for after hours appointment, and then checked out again by ambulance crew this morning.
I have been on fluoxetine for almost 2 months, low dosage. Is it normal after a spell of time for the tablets to stop working and they need to be increased. Anyone else experienced this at all?
Thanks!
Hey you I have had to create a new account it wouldn't let me sign into my old one xxxx
You should speak to your doctor Monday it could be that the tablet's are making you like this Xx
Hi greeneyes, What did the doctors say about how you were feeling when in the A&E? I think you are right in that it could have been IBS and not a result of the Fluoxetine. It would be best to give a call to the doctor that prescribed your meds and see what he says. At the beginning of taking an antidepressant, it usually takes a little fine tweaking to get just the right dose in you to relieve your symptoms but not overpower you completely. Take care. xx
Hi there nice to hear from you. How you doing?
I've been on this med just short of 2 months with no side effects. The doctor last night referred to ibs as simply an overactive bowel. He felt all my stomach and said is ok. I thought my anxiety had gone too not sure now as there was me away to hospItal last night. Do you suffer from this condition?
greeneyes, years ago before I even knew I had anxiety, I suffered from constant spastic colon. I practically lived at the gastroenterologist's office and having test after test done. I was put on an anti-spasmotic for several years. One day it miraculously went away when I flushed the pills down the toilet. Anxiety still wasn't mentioned.
Me for sure identical Hun bloated ibs kicking up and acid reflux aswell horrible combination in so much pain xx
