Hey Ruchie!
I have Buspar, too, for the anxiety but I'm waiting for my system to calm down a little bit before I start taking it, again. It made me feel kind of funny and my attacks were getting really bad, so the doctor told me to stop taking it until I can get my gut under control a little bit. I don't know what kind of sense that makes. Wouldn't the Buspar help calm ME down, so my stomach wouldn't be in a knot all the time??
I don't know.....I'm sooo confused.

Hi Michelle!
Meds work differently for everyone! Buspar may not be the right med for you. Or it may cause you GI distress when you begin taking it and calm things down once you've been on it a while. (Tegretol makes me dizzy and nauseaous for a week to 10 days every time we up the dose  BUT it helps the bipolar...so I live with it. It also wreaks havoc on my IBS as well as inducing hair loss...a very rare side effect! But i would rather be emotionally stable than anything!!)
How long were on the buspar? Did a psych. put you on it?
Hope things become clearer for you soon *hugs*
How you feeling today?

I was only on the Buspar for a few days before I started having awful attacks. I had a better day, yesterday.....I was able to eat a little more and my doctor said that I had an abnormally small colon, since I'm so small and that I may experience more soreness than usual. My colon feels like a big sore muscle. But, today, it feels a little better. After I finally got all the gas out, I didn't feel so sick to my stomach anymore.
How are you feelin' today??

I'm glad you're doing well, today! That's awesome!! I took my Nexium for the first time today (I'm on Nexium and Elavil) and I felt wonderful for a little while, then the Diarrhea hit me.  The Nexium causes diarrhea, abdominal pain and headache and I have all of it except for the headache. But, I am able to eat, again, so that's awesome!!  I will take the D and abdominal pains, anyday, as long as I can eat again. I have a good couple of hours and a bad couple of hours.....but, overall it's a good day!
Take Care! Enjoy your day while it's good, too!!

AHHHH, I keep losing this thread. I'm doing okay today. Rough morning from 9:00-12:00, but am finally able to eat. I went too long without eating, yesterday (18 hrs) , because of the acid reflux and my stomach was so empty that it was making me feel sick, if that makes any sense. No weekend plans. My hubby is working......maybe next weekend we will get out and do something.
You can email me at merchantg@comcast.net, if I lose this thread, again.
Hope you're feeling well today!!
