I’ve been getting more and more anxious over the past few years with the main issue with it giving me an upset stomach and loose bowels / urgency, usually when I go somewhere I know there is no access to a loo.
I have to cut short walks, shopping trips, eating out is dicey as usually as soon as I’ve eaten I’m racing to the loo. It’s not due to any particular food but more situational, if I’ve been caught out in a particular place previously you can guarantee the anxiety will start as soon as I step in the place and I’ll be at risk of having a bowel accident or be very close to.
I’m also having TMJ pain from jaw clenching and also feel quite wired at times.
Today I gave in and spoke to my GP. I’ve been prescribed 50mg Sertraline to be taken every morning. Everything I’ve read about the drug says it’s used to treat IBS C!! And it causes diarrhoea! Why would the GP give me this if this is the case??
Has anyone had any experience of this drug and did it give you the runs? If so I’d rather not take it.
