It's possible: Try this, take some Gaviscon or alka seltzer plus to relieve bloating and gas buildup. If you are constipated, try milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) or dulcolax or magnesium citrate and drink lots of water mixed with prune juice. Hope you feel better.

Yes: As psychiatric medications are brain medications, and the brain controls the body, side effects during treatment and shortly after stopping the treatment can effect any part of the body. Please call your md to discuss and address your concerns!
