Guest guest Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hello, Almost 2 months ago I saw my GP. Since my usual sleep meds were not working as well as they previously had, I asked if she had anything else I could try. She prescribed an antidepressant (Lexapro). It is an SSRI. After the second day of using it, I started having gastric pain. After about 5 days, I had to stop the Lexapro, because of a multitude of side-effects (these antidepressants are really horrible). However, the gastric pain has persisted. It feels like when you haven't eaten in a long time and your stomach feels like there is a big hole and some burning. I have been on Nexium for one month (The dose was increased to 80mg per days 10 days ago) with no relief. I am having trouble eating as all foods and liquids (including water) seem to irritate my stomach. I don't know what to do. I have never had gastric upset for 2 months straight and with no relief through medications. Does anybody have any experience with this or any ideas? Thank you.
