BAD STOMACH ACHES-IS IT THE MEDS???HELP!!!!

Posted by mellymel_d on August 14, 2005, at 23:43:00

I just had my lexapro reduced to 10mg from 15 and started effexor 37.5 like 5 days ago...The last 2 nights I've have the most TERRIBLE stomach aches. Has anybody experienced this with effexor like meds? These pains are like ulcer pains but worse brings me to tears on top of that I'm crying and getting anxiety about it...some insight from anybody would help...Please. I can't stand all of these changes I'm having...

From what I understand, 95% of serotonin receptors are in the gut, so tampering with the serotonin system seems like it would also upset any sort of smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal tract or stomach
