It's possible: Work on relaxation techniques. Our go system is full of nerve endings and your anxiety can be triggering the negative effects the stress can have on our bodies.

Diarrhea: I see that you're on budeprion (bupropion), but it's important to realize that this medication is not helpful for anxiety. (it's a fine antidepressant, though.) i really suggest consulting with a psychiatrist about your anxiety, and considering whether you have any food intolerance that might be resulting in diarrhea. Gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy are the most common culprits.
