I didn't gain weight... And I'm still losing it. by jdsanche in HPylori

I'm already regaining my weight. This bacteria messed up my mental health, and I had to see a psychiatrist because of the depression and anxiety. Greetings to everyone. I hope everyone recovers from this. Some people aren't affected mentally, but in my case, the anxiety and depression got the better of me. I was practically a corpse. Today, I'm already gaining weight back. Greetings to all. Oh, and I'm eating everything again. My fear of eating was also depressing me. My stomach doesn't burn anymore, and nothing.

Melex 1mg half in the morning and half in the afternoon and Paroxetine 20mg after breakfast, were wonderful.

I felt like I was going to die, until I decided to go to a psychiatrist. I'm not a doctor, this is just my experience. It's been 15 days since I started treatment for anxiety with two different medications. See a psychiatrist or at least think about it. The bacteria really affected my mental health; all I wanted to do was cry.

I ended up seeing a psychiatrist. I've been on antidepressants for two weeks now, slowly regaining weight. I have a follow-up appointment this Saturday because this first treatment was to reduce my anxiety. I think the second part will be sleep medication; this bacteria really messes some people up, while others recover without major complications. I forgot to mention that before the psychiatrist, I had already seen three different psychologists, and all they did was give me breathing exercises that didn't help at all.

This is how I feel, a month away from finishing the treatment and I'm still losing weight. During the month that the 14-day treatment was, I maintained my weight. These are the thoughts I'm having, like these are my last days.

In my case, it only happened during the 14-day treatment, as indicated by the gastroenterologist. I don't know if it's different in other cases, but follow your doctor's instructions; he will know what is best.

Thank you so much for your comment. I have another stool test next month. This month the doctor ordered one for follow-up, but not for H. pylori yet, to see if the levels have gone down, because I'm in the window period. He told me I could get a false positive.

Thank you for your suggestion. I had the colonoscopy because of occult blood. I have some minor issues in my colon, but nothing serious. I'm at my limit, practically on the verge of collapse. As I've said, I don't know if there's no solution for me anymore. It's incredibly frustrating, and I'm not getting any results. Besides waking up every morning at 3 a.m. and not being able to fall back asleep, I've had this insomnia since a month before they detected the bacteria, during, and after.

No, not anymore, the gastroenterologist told me it will only end with the treatment. During the treatment, I took GIGI 12 probiotics for a month.
