Avatar f tn Talk to your doc about it. Check the government site about zelnorm, or the site for the company that makes zelnorm. It should give you more information. The extreme right-sided pain could be due to gallbladder issues. Talk to your doc about it.
Avatar n tn I have IBS and have taken Bentyl and Zelnorm, my doctor took me off the Zelnorm because he said, it was a dangerous drug. Is this true ?
Avatar f tn last thursday I had taken a zelnorm because i had not had a bowel movement in about a week. since I have not stopped using the bathroom, all day and throughout the night, if i eat or drink anything I have to run to the bathroom within minutes and I have pains and bloatiness in my stomache. this has never happened before when I take the medication. I am afraid to leave the house and I have lost 5 lbs. any suggestions?
Avatar f tn ve had IBS with constipation for over 15 years. Before Zelnorm was removed from the market, THATS when the straining REALLY started. My parents & grandparents say I was practically born constipated. So back to my question, is there a chance the strokes came from my bathroom troubles. Any ideas?
1225025 tn?1267101121 I have taken Zelnorm which has been very successful for me, but I have IBS with constipation and then when I haven't gone to the bathroom for a couple of weeks, the diarrhea happens. Have you tried Zelnorm?
Avatar f tn I feel chained to the bathroom and of course never clean. Zelnorm was the beat solution and worked really well but then was taken off the market. What can I do to resolve this ever increasing problem?
Avatar f tn Hello there, Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRI like Lexapro ) work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin neurotransmitters. What it means is that you will keep the serotonin active longer before throwing it out ( to keep it simple ). It doesn't boost the serotonin production, it just make better use of the serotonin already present ( here again to keep it simple ). Your body is always producing serotonin and Lexapro only make a better use of this already produced serotonin.
Avatar m tn s no evidence anyone has more or less serotonin than anyone else. What ssris do is prevent the breakdown of serotonin so it soaks the neuron longer in it. This isn't the natural way the body acts, but these meds have helped many people. But whether you want to take them or not, or need them or not, is up to you. They won't cure you, they will only mitigate the symptoms you're having. If there is a cure, it's through therapy.
Avatar n tn I have recently have been diagnosed with Diabetic enteropathy of the colon and my Gastroenterologist has prescribed Zelnorm for this condition.Has this medication been effective in treating Diabetic enteropathy snd what are the gratest side effects? Thank you.
Avatar f tn This looks like "official" matter. What meds are in question? Colonoscopy showed something? IBS is not a disease at all, and there's no drugs for IBS, as I know (my opinion). Zelnorm was even withdrawn from the (U.S.) market last year, now it might be back again.
Avatar f tn Call your doctor and let him know what's happening, so you will know if this is a result of either medication. Serotonin Syndrome causes fluctuations in blood pressure but that is the only symptom you have. Try getting up slower and see if this helps, it sounds like your blood pressure isn't rising fast enough upon standing causing the dizziness. This happens to all of us once in awhile but when it's constant you need to get checked out.
Avatar m tn t think it is possible to have a serotonin syndrome from taking buspar and/or THC. Neither of these things effect your serotonin levels or your serotonin receptors. All medications that could cause this have to have the warning in the drug label. Buspar does not have anything about this. As far as "other" drugs that can cause this issue, stay away from ecstasy, LSD and Cocaine. Here is a good site with more information http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar m tn Is it possible to get a mild form of serotonin syndrome from taking Buspar 10mg twice a day and also smoking some concentrated THC (wax)? This thought has come and gone for me for a few weeks because I haven't felt the same ever since. I thought I may have chronic fatigue syndrome (I suspected I have fibromyalgia too) but I am now thinking it could have been serotonin syndrome recently.
Avatar f tn Oh, I forget to mention.... It is very unlikly that his problem was related to the Cymbalta causing Serotonin Syndrome. That's because Cymbalta does not act on Serotonin such as more traditional SSRI medications do. Cymbalta is an SNRI and acts mainly on Neurephinepherine neurotransmitters, and not Serotonin Neurotransmitters.
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever had Serotonin syndrome. I am desperate to talk with someone else that has experienced this horrible event.
Avatar n tn Told my boyfriend to make a promise to take me to a psychiatrist. Obviously I have serotonin syndrome, but nobody seems to listen. I can tell it's affecting my kidneys now...major withdrawals symptoms, etc. Has anyone ever had it before and it is just my imagination or should I be seeking immediate care, or do I continue my days of malaise until my 2-7 weeks is up? please answer...desperately seeking answers...
Avatar m tn The next day I took no more adderall, and still experienced the same symptoms, so the day after that I decided to stop taking my Effexor as well, fearing possible Serotonin toxicity. Its been a little over 72 hours without the effexor and I cant see any relief of symptoms with the mental side of things. I no longer have the muscle spasms and fast hart rate but my mind still seems in a fog. What could this be caused by??
Avatar f tn Can serotonin syndrome develop gradually and be mild vs just the short term acute serious descriptions I've read? I have unexplained neuro sx including clonus and hyperreflexia and have been taking 20 mg of celebs for over 5 yrs. is this a possible cause?
Avatar n tn I appreciate everyones comments. I guess it all depends on one's body chemistry. Alot of people out there take 200mg of Zoloft and alot of people take 25mgs. What works for one, obviously does not work for all. If one's serotonin levels are "borderline" and they take a lower dose of whatever med, it stands to reason that to much would or could have a bad effect.
Avatar f tn If you experience fever then there is high chance you have either serotonin or a viral infection. In contrary to the calming effect of serotonin, serotonin syndrome will mostly make you hyperactive, stiff, tremors and in the worse case will cause fever and this when it is potentially dangerous. Anxiety and stress can cause tremors too. If you have been stressed out lately then it could explain the tremors too and also various aches.
Avatar f tn Adderal mimic serotonin syndrome like do all amphetamines. If you get fever then rush to the hospital. Benzos like Xanax are used to calm someone from a serotonin syndrome.. Just letting you know.
968908 tn?1274871115 erm no i'm sure that this is Serotonin syndrome cause for 1 i am not taking any other serotopic drugs, such as you suggest. Also my symptoms fit to a tee, and this is trusting my instincts. There is no 'test' to diganose this condition, only supportive care. If you go onto any web-site regarding this you will see that all the symtoms i have spoken of are in the 'mild to moderate' cat... Thank-you for trying to diganose my smyptoms though and taking your time to respond...
