> I know that all the drs wanted me to take paxil. they said thats the one for anxiety. i was afraid of all pills so i wouldnt take it. i was obsessed with my bathroom habits as well. I developed "fecal stasis", which is when ur colon is paralyzed.I actually was so crazy, I thought my intestines were disconnected from my stomach. Sounds really strange to me now. i had to use miralax to get colon to work. My anxiety was so bad, my digestive system was messed up. I have recovered fully, and I know you will too. : )
Humm I had 2 intestinal obstructions. I think it may be linked to my gastric by pass surgery I had back in 2001... My gastro Doc think its from too much adhesion... Anyway I'm now having IBS with c, no laxative work; I can't have a normal bowel movement, I always need the glycerin suppositories to pass stools... I never had that before 2011... In fact before I had 8 to 10 liquid bowel movement a day!!! So anxiety is probably the main problem I think and can't relax the anal muscles to pass stools... Also the more I'm anxious and the more intestine pain I will have... Most of the time I'm so bloated and in pain that the only thing who decrease the pain is to put on my belly an electric eating pad... The main problem is that I burn all my skin, it's all red and brown now and my family Doc said it will never heal since its in a depigmentation state who is worse than only burn skin at every kind of degree...
I also don't need a high dose of med to control my anxiety, 15 mg of Paxil is enough for me... Normal dose is 40 mg... So like my PDoc said, take 1 mg and increase only when side effects decrease... Increase slowly even if it take 6 months or more to reach the therapeutic dose... Lamictal or not he said I will need the Paxil...
I do hope I will have my life back... Can't stay in the house forever and feel like I will die all the time...
Will keep the faith as usual!!!
Thanks for your support -:) Take care of you
