Been battling intestinal/digestive issues for entire life. Currently taking Cymbalta and Lamictal. That helps with the bipolar but I continue to seek some relief for IBS-C. Konsyl fiber is my latest supplement. I tried Remeron a couple of years ago with some limited success. Suffering gets old.

Yeah. Mental and physical are two completelt different things. I'll never understand why dr's think otherwise.

Oh I'm glad to see someone on Cymbalta. I was put on Cymbalta (30mg for 2 weeks before upping it to 60mg), and have been on it for almost 10 weeks now. I had awful diarrhoea and headaches as my side effect, and worsened reflux. But lately I've noticed I've been getting worse stomach/digestive issues. On and off days of loose bowels, then other days hard bowels. To add to that, I've been having stomach pains and nausea which I think are from bad acid reflux. Have you found that issue with reflux or is it just me? I know Cymbalta can be quite bad on the stomach, but I'm not too sure how much.
