A member asked:

Odd issue. what could potentially cause ssri/snris to either metabolize incredibly rapidly or not absorb at all?long story short, for 3 yrs my meds have caused me to withdrawal while taking them daily. ive tried multiple. much more to explain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absorption of meds from the stomach is influenced by many things-amount (dose), time ., foods, fluids, metabolism absorption , transit time etc. So ask and follow your docs instruction and if you have any other health issues she/ he should know and does not fill them in. Good luck
