SolidmiseryonAD Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 My digestive problems first started in 2012; I got a stressful job in a lab where I had to work 10hr per day and had very little time to drink water. The job was more like servitude in a sweatshop. I was on 300mg of Bupropion. Diverticulitis put me in the hospital for a week, with a month of stay-at-home care. The following year, the next attack placed me in the hospital for a week, then I endured a two-month recovery. Since then, if I have been under stress or get angry, my digestive issues come back. In 2017, my husband suggested that my antidepressants caused my digestive problems. Diverticulitis came back after I ate a lot of restaurant food one we when to visit family out of state. In late 2018, I started my taper. Just this week, I fought with my husband. After eating restaurant food, and quite a large quantity of sugar, I started to get the first symptoms of a diverticulitis attack. I'm at 22-mg of Bupropion. I'm wondering if I will ever heal my digestive system? It seems like stress or anger causes digestive issues. How can I live if I can't get angry or handle stress? Does antidepressants destroy the digestive system? 1997-1999 Xanax 1999-2000 Slow taper off of Xanax nonsupportive by my 'doctor' at the time. 2000- 2018 Burpropion, first at 75 mg, then 100 mg, and finally 300 mg. 2012-2018 Experienced 'poop symptoms: digestive issues, tumors, inability to tolerate stress, weight gain, etc. November 2018 - I decided to start a very slow taper. The initial dose was 300 mg. 2022- As of March 17, at 22-mg Bupropion. 2024 - As of Feb. 14, at 4.5-mg Bupropion The game ended on May 1st, 2024 - Discontinued Bupropion at 4.5 mg.
