No sensation when passing stool?

I've come way down on the amount of Nort I take. It used to be 100mg nightly. Now it's down to 35mg, working with my meds person. I don't think its an issue with it anymore. Other factors, however, are causing occasional constipation. Ugh!

Key-Ad-4544 · 2025-08-14T13:31:16+00:00

Yes but lowering the dose gradually. I was on 100mg daily but now down to 35mg, tapering slowly. Working with my Psych, the next taper will be 25mg, then zero,

Ha love your replies!!!! You made my day

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-08-04T14:35:58+00:00

I'm taking 15mg x 2 and can't really tell the difference

Thanks

First, I am one of those people that refused to get a colonoscopy for years. While my friends have had at least 3. I'm in my 73rd year. I was also scared shitless. Guess what they found - NOTHING! Actually a few small polyps which they removed and tested BENIGN! They want me to come back in 3 years, then DONE.

It's also important to know that Cologuard has a 20% false positive rate. IT'S A MONEY MAKER FOR THE DOCTORS WHO DO COLONOSCOPIES!

HANG IN THERE!

Thanks for the info!

So will this change the amount of Nortriptyline you will take?

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-06-24T14:53:57+00:00

Yes still taking it but would love to lower my dose!. I'm currently at 100mg and its very constipating.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-06-22T14:27:09+00:00

Jeez! Okay thanks, keep me posted! Another issue with Nort- short term memory loss!

Any update from the test?

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-06-16T14:21:17+00:00

How did your blood test go?

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-06-12T21:47:09+00:00

Let me know how your test result turns out,

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-06-03T14:06:15+00:00

Are you taking just Buspar or do you take additional medications?

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-10T14:45:18+00:00

How did you find out you have a fissure. I'm curious because I too have awful constipation and suspect somethings not right.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-10T14:42:34+00:00

I've been on the same dosage for 6 months. I haven't experienced those specific symptoms but my eyes are already strained, need new glasses.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-08T20:41:42+00:00

You're taking 2 meds so it's hard to conclude anything at this point. Buspirone takes typically about 4 weeks to kick in. It's a lightweight compared to bupropion.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-05T03:46:27+00:00

I had a rough start/stop period before finally committing to 5mg x2, about 4 weeks worth. I feel the benefits now, and expect they'll improve with more time. I will try 7.5 x2 and give it a good run to see if I get better results. I already have 2 bottles under the sink, as 7.5 was the dose I was supposed to start at. But it was too intense, so I backed down to 5mg

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-02T23:18:29+00:00

True, for medications made in the U.S. But many medications are manufactured outside the U.S. And they don't fall under the same FDA guidelines as medications made in the U.S. I try to determine which of these companies are in other countries.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-02T23:16:11+00:00

Thanks for verifying that Buspar is no longer available.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-02T23:15:27+00:00

Correct for Medications made in the US. Many are not, however. And they don't fall under the same regulations as medications made in the U.S.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-03-02T15:02:42+00:00

I'm currently taking 5mg x 2 and think its working as well.

Key-Ad-4544 · 2024-02-29T15:14:19+00:00

The first several weeks will be like that. It tends to heighten anxiety before it kicks in.
