Pages: 1 Zelnorm question       #107265 - 09/21/04 12:23 PM Edit Reply Quote Meryl36 Reged: 09/03/04 Posts: 163 Loc: Dallas, Texas Hi I just got back from an appt with my GI doc & he gave me a prescription for Zelnorm. I did a search & read some frightening stuff about it. Could anyone who's ever taken this share their experience. It was a choice between this or zoloft & my doc said we should try this first (I was afraid of AD's) thanks in advance Meryl Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Zelnorm question       #107285 - 09/21/04 12:54 PM Edit Reply Quote LauraSue Reged: 01/14/04 Posts: 4812 Loc: New York City No opinion on the Zelnorm as I'm a D, but don't be afraid of AD's. They really work on lots of things including IBS. It's not just for depression anymore. It's just another med. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple!

Don't be suprised if you get some D the first few times you take it, that should go away. Do a broad search on Zelnorm on this board and you will find lots of info! I agree, don't be afraid of the AD's, my opinion, they will probably be a better long term solution than Zelnorm. -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

It didn't ever stop working and I used it for about 5 months straight! It never caused me D either. Everyone is different. Good luck!! -------------------- ~Wookie Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Zelnorm question       #107608 - 09/22/04 12:53 PM Edit Reply Quote Meryl36 Reged: 09/03/04 Posts: 163 Loc: Dallas, Texas Hi Doe, so how come you stoped taking it? Did your doctor make you stop or you just didn't need it anymore? Are you taking anything now?

It's been a big help to me. My GI wants me to take it for two more months. Then we'll go from there.

The first time it did nothing: nothing good and nothing bad.I felt like I was taking a placebo. The second time it caused some cramps or nausea (can't remember which). Nothing at all frightening happened to me, and I'm extremely drug-sensitive. Also: if you don't like it, you can stop taking it. You're not locked in! --salsagal Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
