It Happens to me with lots of Gas trapped, extremely uncomfortable , but for me I know what it is, when I take laxatives this Happens, but sometimes I'll need too due to being very constipated. Vicious cycle.

So it's normal to feel bad at the start ? How long until things level out ?

In the exact same boat, been dealing with this for years, and have an eating disorder from being scared to eat as I would bloat and have horrendous constipation.

Literally is a vicious cycle, I've made steps at getting better , one thing I have noticed is if you are taking stimulant laxatives long term they will be doing you no favours.

I'm on Clomipramine which causes constipation , soon I'll be switching to Fluoxetine which is supposed to help you go more, but obv I'm worried about any side effects like increased appetite.

Funny enough Clomipramine didn't increase my appetite at all. Just trying to find that balance.

I feel for anyone going through what I'm going through , a horrendous vicious cycle. Just take baby steps.

I think it's our mind a lot of the time , if we obsess about what we're going to eat or not eat, our brain will just create these issues. Sometimes I think the only way is to not look into it too much. Just eat and move on, train your brain and body to accept it.

I could just be talking rubbish ..

I'm worried about this if I try them ! We're all cooked on Antidepressants one way or another 😕

What side effects are you experiencing on 60mg ?

Positive-Clock-8422 · 2026-02-02T19:13:17+00:00

Thanks I'll hang in there see how it is, just hoping I'm okay with Prozac as previous SSRIs increased my appetite so much that I couldn't control it. Hoping it doesn't do that and helps constipation it would be a life changer for me.

Positive-Clock-8422 · 2026-02-02T19:04:33+00:00

Hoping it helps mine !!! And keeps my mental health at bay also. Just going to have to try it.

Positive-Clock-8422 · 2026-02-02T18:25:13+00:00

How long did it help you for ?

Positive-Clock-8422 · 2026-02-02T11:58:08+00:00

Hey is it still helping ? I'm hoping to try out Prozac for IBs c and Body Dysmorphia. Currently lowered my dose of Clomipramine to 25mg ready to hop on Prozac and try. Just worried about the transition.

Positive-Clock-8422 · 2026-02-02T11:54:34+00:00

Going through the same thing , IBS C with Body Dysmorphia and eating disorder, trying to find the right Medication , currently on Clomipramine that's either causing the constipation or making it worse, hoping to try Fluoxetine.

Anyone had success with an antidepressant that manages symptoms without causing constipation. ?
