Diarrhoea - very worried, please help
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi I am very worried. About a month ago now I changed my antidepressants from Prozac to Sertraline as they were no longer working for me. I was OK for a while and then had the dosage upped and I had severe diarrhoea for three weeks. The doctor then put me onto the lower dose of Citrolapram. My bowels went back to normal. I had a poo test done which showed the results were slightly above average but my doctor wasn't concerned about that all and said it was still within the normal range. I had lost five pounds in weight before which concerrned her but when she weighed me when I saw her two weeks ago she said I hadn't lost any more. She did say that if the diarrhoea had continued and I had lost more weight she would have sent me more tests. I was just relieved things were OK and have been since.
Until this morning. I suddenly had an urge to go to the toilet at work. It wasn't diarrhoea at all but my stools were just a bit softer than normal. I went about three more times, each time it wasn't diarrhoea but I am still worried. I don't normally go more than once a day and not even that sometimes.
Should I be contacting my doctor again? I am terrified that I have something sinister.
