Has anyone tried SSRIs for GI issues?

Posted , 2 users are following.

My GI doctor suggested I take tiny doses of something like Prozac to help with my "sensitive stomach" since everything I eat hurts me and I've ruled out all other possible causes.

This seems like my only answer for now although I'm not crazy about the idea, even if it is a tiny dose.

Does anyone have experience with this?

    hi noai, do NOT take this!? please heed my warning, an absolutely terrible drug that won't even touch your stomach. have you had cameras, dieticians appointments, different medications etc? if not don't agree with your doctor. it's rubbish Prozac will NOT help your stomach. speak to a different doctor!
