Reflux and antidepressants - poll

[YankeesFan 2]

Hi all

If you take antidepressants, have you had problems w/reflux and/or vomiting (not PBing) that seem to be correlated w/ when you take your antidepressants? I'd love to provide my doctors with an sense of how often this occurs -- or if it just happens to a very lucky few.

Thanks!

This is an interesting question. My doc just put me on Luvox (similar to prozac/zoloft) to stop PBing, nausea, vomiting, etc. He said the drugs work by changing the nerve impulses between the stomach and brain. I thought it was just tricyclics (Elavil, Sinequan, etc.) that did that but my thoughts were incorrect.

I'm not sure my anxiety meds are fine but, I'm still waiting fr my wellbutrin to get here once I start taking it I'll post. I had to switch to regualr so I could crush them.

I take Lexipro and don't have reflux. Not yet anyway!

I take the controlled release Wellbutrin, and I have not had a problem

When I was on prozac about 4 years ago I had terrible heartburn all the time, especially if I took them on an empty stomach. To be fair though once I went over a BMi of 35 I had reflux all the time too!

I take Wellbutrin WL, Selexa, and Topamax. I was banded early Sept 2006 and had no problem with acid reflux until this June. I think this might have been kicked off by an overfill. :phanvan

I haven't had any panic attack since my operation. I don't know if it's due to not drinking caffeine anymore.

It's funny you should mention this. My sister's husband has had terrible trouble with vomiting and taking his anti-depressant. I am also on anti-depressants for a neurological dysfunction and Migraine and do have reflux, but I think that is just from being overweight. Hopefully it is a thing of the past!

My dietician told me I would have to open up my 2 x Prozac and let them dissolve in Water before I took them. I thought that Prozac was slow release so I am a bit concerned.

Whenever mood disorder I take Endep medication. This medication is class of tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline relieves anxiety and tension, increases energy level and so on. Slowly return back to normal.
