- ovarian cyst - removed carefully as I was just about to begin IVF / preserved the ovary
- removal of ovaries - one at a time of course, just to be difficult -one from a cyst, one from adhesions
- several operations to divide adhesions, originally caused by the appendicitis - esp the one where adhedsions looped up part of my bowel - ICCKY!!

Aropax (Paxil). Currently at 13mg and holding.
Added Endep (amitrypline) 12.5 for sleep - 11 July 2013

before meds, i had nothing, even do not know i had a stomac, today is not the same(if i would ask a doctor, he would say it is my age)
12 years paxil(9 years only 10 mg) - cold turkey(1,5 month) and switch celexa tapered 1 year 20 mg
62 years old - for GAD - 4 years 3 months meds free [since april 2009]
vegetables soup - orange (vit C) - curcuma - some meat or fish
I had some horrible stomach issues even before the meds. I think i had IBS, but what I have now is on a league of its own...
No stomach problems before taking meds.
Severe anxiety since childhood .SSRIs for OCD.
Major traumatism in my life:Prozac during short periods.
Deroxat (=Paxil) during 7 years.
Three unsuccessful atempts to quit.
Deroxat free since may 2008 (Cold turkey )
none for me either.
I've traveled in the developing world a lot, and my stomach got bad on several trips, but always recovered, until I spent a year in Bolivia in my 20s. My stomach was never quite the same after that. I did have some tests done and no parasites were found, but it sure seems like something got started there. It seemed to evolve into a kind of IBS.
Meds free since June 2005.

For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

So, just to follow up – it sounds like many people did not have GI tract issues before meds, but that just about everyone has had issues since meds.
Is there anyone who has *not* had GI tract problems (ranging anywhere along that tract from top to bottom) during w/d?
