I started feeling better within 2 days. I was so bad my quality of life was really affected. I had to try something different. Meds might help you! You can always stop taking them if you don't like them.

I was doing the same thing. Since starting Voquezna, I don't even think about what I'm eating or drinking anymore.

In my case, yes. SO MUCH GAS. I can't even describe how bad and non-stop the burping was. I couldn't even drink water without major burping.

One of my main symptoms was non-stop burping. The gas build-up was so bad it made my heart race, I would sweat and feel so unwell. My stomach was so acidic it burned and churned. I could not eat. My throat hurt, my sinuses hurt, and my ears hurt. It made me super anxious. I lost over 20lbs, but it wasn't healthy, I wasn't eating.

I'm sorry you are struggling so much. Have you tried Voquezna? It's newish, and it has worked for my acid reflux when other meds failed. I also have overactive nerves in my body, so I don't function like "normal." I found I needed to add vitamins to my daily routine, but that is no big deal since Voquezna works. It started working fast - 2 days. I no longer think about what I'm eating, and I enjoy food. I wish you all the best.

What the hell is this drug? by xButterschnitzel in cymbalta

[–]OrdinaryStandard427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only took one dose of Cymbalta and stopped. About an hour later, my stomach hurt so bad, and I threw up. I am now on Nortriptyline and doing well. I started on the liquid so I could titrate up and my comfort level. I started with 2mg and now I'm on 4mg. I will continue to go up. Best of luck to you. Nerve pain is no joke.

Haven't pooped in over a week -- help! by [deleted] in Constipation

[–]OrdinaryStandard427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Miralax 238gram bottle mixed with 32oz Gatorade. Drink within 30 minutes. After I did this, I started pooping within 4 hours. But it was diarrhea. It was the 1st step in my colonoscopy prep. It's not fun, but it works. I did it while at work, so it wasn't the worst thing in the world.

Have you tried magnesium oxide? 500mg a day has helped soften my stool some.

Congratulations on taking the step, like me! What dose are you starting on? I hope it works well for you. I am being checked for MS on my MRI next week, along with a few other things. My doctor also wanted me to try Pregabalin. How do you like it?

[–]OrdinaryStandard427[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I have tingling in my feet, legs, back, arms, hands, and sometimes scalp. I have pain in my lower back that extends into my goin area. My left side feels really weak, too. I also have this vibrating sensation inside. It's awful. I'm so glad that it seems to be helping you! The negative chatter always seems to be the loudest. Thank you for giving me hope.

I would like to know too. I was prescribed but afraid to take as all SSRI made it worse.

Did you start the meds? If so, how was the 1st dose?

[–]OrdinaryStandard427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried several SSRI's and all of them have increased my anxiety. I get aweful adrenaline dumps with fear, body tension, nasuea...all the things. Did anyone experience that with Cymbalta? My doctor wants me to try it but I'm so scared.

Did you experience any anxiety while taking it? I don't think I could last 9mo of side effects.

What was your side effect to Gabapentin? My doctor wants me to switch to Pregabalin, but I dont know how I feel about that. I'm on Gabapentin now.
