Hello,
excuse the unappetizing subject, but this is beginning to worry me a little...
I'm currently taking sertraline together with caffeine and nicotine (yes, nicotine, not tobacco.). It's working rather well. But, (as could be expected from all the serotonin and acetylcholine AFAIK), I regularly get strong, sometimes audible bowel movements, and I get flatulence to the point where it's becoming inconvenient :(
Is this dangerous? Can the overactivity somehow cause intestinal cancer? (I assume that it is not in itself a symptom of an illness, since it started when I started the medication.) I guess I could take anti-diarrhea medication to counteract it, but if it's not dangerous, I'd rather not.
