Update - Seroxat Day 3

[vetran32]

Hi mate dont worry about taking seroxat it has realy bad press especialy in regard to coming of etc, but it can be a life saver for others it has helped me in the past alot. Some things work well and dont for others you have to just try until you find a med that suits you good luck

Thanks for the Vetran32...I was determined to start tablets today with breakfast which only just had. Now I am hesitating, yet again, thinking about side effects I "could" have.
Tablet sitting in front of me now......all I have to do is take it...but that's the hard part.

Been on 10mg Seroxat for a couple of weeks but still having bowel problems althought not so bad as before so decided to up to 20mg on Wednesday. Bad mistake....since then spent most of the time running off to the loo and everything I've eaten has gone straight through me.

I think if it wasn't for that I'd been feeling better as I've not been so anxious or depressed.

Last night after many visits to the loo and not being able to eat an evening meal because I felt so awful I was definately going to stop tablets altogether. All I seem to be doing is taking seroxat and immodium at the moment.

Does anyone know is this a side effect that goes away with time or will it be ongoing. If it's ongoing I really can't carry on taking this med.

It will go away Laine1. It's a common "initial" side effect of most SSRI's, although not everyone gets it.
