Painterpants18 posted a topic in Introductions and updates
Curious about success in self tapering off of Citalopram. -
I tapered off Lexapro 20mg over the course of a few months with the last dose in June 2020. I started getting constipated shortly thereafter (only other time I had constipation was after weaning off for a couple years in 2011).

Slow motility is a cause of Sibo and I’ve read other stories of people getting sibo after withdrawing from an Ssri also. The Sibo has brought my anxiety back with a vengeance (I’m also obse

readyfortheworld: Introduction from Texas

Hello everyone, I’m a 25 year old male from Texas.

hankkoning Getting of Antidepressants if you suffer from IBS
hankkoning posted a topic in Introductions and updates
About 2 years I tested positive (again) for Blastocystis Hominis parasites. I was prescribed Septra and on the third day after taking the first 5 pills I suddenly became suicidal depressed and anxious so I stopped immediately but I guess the damage was done. I was encouraged to go on ADs so ended up finally on Mirtazapine which is the generic version of Remeron. I was told this was to fix the damage and would be temporary but I have tried several times to taper off on to have the depression and anxiety return before getting off completely. I am reading over and over again that people with IB
