I agree with Ulrika that the C could have been an initial side effect that is now wearing off. I took Cilexa for a while to try to help IBS-C. The first month or so I thought it was great. My C was a lot better. I was less nervous. I actually gained a few pounds (which is good for me). But then after a while I started to feel worse. My C came back...only it seemed a little worse. I was soooo tired I could barely make my 20 min. drive to work each day. My hair started to get thinner. Libido went way down. There are others, but I can't think of them at the moment. Anyway, not to sound discouraging, but that does happen. One thing that I tried (although it didn't make much difference) was changing from taking my pills in the evening to taking them in the morning. I was hoping it would help with the fatigue. Anyway, something to try. Or you can try a different dose. When I started feeling worse I gradually weaned myself off of the meds. I went from 20 mg to 10 mg to 5 mg to nothing. I did it over the course of a month or two. I was taking a different AD, but I thought this still might be helpful. If you're really concerned I would talk to your Dr. Maybe he/she can give you advice about dosage or a different kind of AD to try.
