How do you stop diarrhoea when taking antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea : Speak to the prescribing physician regarding your complaint. Often such side effects will resolve with time. If they persist, your physician may advise adjusting the dose, when you take the medication, or possibly a different antidepressant if the side effect is severe. In some cases if the antidepressant is working very well it may be worth adding an agent to treat the complaint.
