*I am so sorry this is so long and if it is TMI.* I have been having diarrhea for 3+ weeks, accompanied by other symptoms, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps and pain. Was in and out of the ER, I still have an appointment with a GI in a couple of weeks. Was diagnosed with gastritis and FLD one visit, and then the next visit told that there is no evidence of anything being wrong. Found that it most likely is a bacterial infection and was treated with antibiotics. I saw major improvement but still had the diarrhea. I talked to the doctor again and she gave me two more days worth of antibiotics, told me to also take acidophilus. I was able to start a women's probiotic and the acidophilus last night. I had my first normal bowel movement today after 3+ weeks of non stop diarrhea. I honestly felt like I was going insane and so terrified that there was something serious going on. Now if I could just stop being scared to take the Lexapro I was recently prescribed. I'm late starting the Lexapro because I couldn't take it with the antibiotics prescribed. I see my psychiatrist Monday and am so anxious that he's going be mad that haven't taken it until today when I was supposed to start it Wednesday. I almost feel like I shouldn't be putting all of these medications into my body, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, Trazodone. I'm scared for my sexual health and that I'll feel like a zombie on them. I remember when I took Sertraline and it severely affected my libido and don't want that to happen. I thought I wanted to be on medication to help but now I'm not so sure. Thank you to those of you who read this. I appreciate you.🙏💗
