My digestion hasn't been normal for quite a while. Maybe two months.
I've made drastic changes in meds, so I don't know which one to blame.
If I would have to pick one, I'll pick the Lithium. Only I added Remeron
at the same time. And I'm lowering the Lamictal.
Have you had changes in you digestion due to the meds?.

Yeah, all sorts of side effects from Lamectal, including digestive problems, like Gerd, trouble swallowing, heartburn, constipation. But shortness of breath was the worst.
Thanks for this!

Yes I have. I have a protein drink when I take my morning meds, and it's helped my stomach. My doc suggested this, and it's worked for me. Specifically, the Brintellix I take is known to cause stomach upset, so that's why I do it, but it might help you.
Thanks for this!

Lithium made me use the bathroom about 5 times a day! I even had to run out of class in the middle of the test

Ha Lithium has the opposite effect, it constipates me terribly.
