A member asked:
Can escitalopram cause it to take longer to recover from gastroenteritis? i had gastroenteritis last week and still don't feel alright (1 week later).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: as some people have GI upset on SSRI's. But I would not assume that is the reason. Take care.
