Can any reccomend anything to help reduce my bloated stomach? I have been on paroxetine for 10 years now and my stomach is always bloated. I don't drink Alcohol and I have a healthy diet.

Peroxetine

How long have you been on this medication, also are you taking any other drugs like NSIDs Cox 2 or Pain medications like Paracetamol

Are you having any problems with going to the toilet ?

You need to allow about five weeks for this medication to work, If you are an Anxiety sufferer that can cause tummy pains.

We are coming to Christmas so I suppose you need to put your mind at rest, have words with your Doctor, if you can get an appointment before Christmas.

You can look up this drug on the NHS Information Site on the web, they give explanations in their drug A/Z

Paroxetine 40mg is my preferred choice over citalopram, setraline and anafranil. I have took it on and off for 10 years now.
