Yep, I take them all, need big time mood stabilization. I looked up the side effects for each and could not find the one I'm having the biggest problem with...serious constipation. My stomach is swollen too. I drink over 100 oz. of water daily, so that probably isn't it...Any ideas????

Thanks,
Dee

Most mental illness drugs will cause constipation. I stay constipated all the time. I also have swollen stomach and drink a lot of water. As suggested, fiber is usually the answer to this problem. I have a problem with fiber, though. It swells and cramps me big time.
