Does anyone else experience terrible gas with antidepressants/mood stabilizers? It's just been out of control since I started on these meds...

" Oh, and evelena, believe it or not, I tried Beano and it did not do a thing for my excessive flatulents! I talked to my doctor and she said it could be a combo of the meds and my diet...LOL! She said she has had some patients complain of the same thing...LOL! "

" So much for beano and I'm surprised she didn't offer you more then the alot of people have it.
There must be something out there for this.
I'm going to research the net right now and see if I can bring back some useful hints for you.
As far as food of course beans will cause it and alot of dairy products will also for alot of people.
Vegtables also tend to cause it like brussell sprouts and cabbage ect.
But I understand this is a real problem for you so I'll be back. "

" Don't be shy, let it fly!

Although I certainly am not such a skilled fatulator as Mr. Methane, able to summon forth on command, I certainly have mastered tone and duration techniques. And my scent is above reproach (or maybe approach, lol!)
I can even tell if there will be a scent just by how it feels. There is a certain warm moistness in the heavily scented ones, yet an occasional, lightly scented dry cool one sneaks out. I am working on a project which i save these rare scents in film containers and test the staying power of the scent. I am hoping for a government grant for such a project. Maybe they are better aged. Saved in special oak barrels. Maybe someone is interested in some private financial support for this project. Anyone interested? I think this is very important work. And please don't waste your time telling me this project stinks! "

" Ok the best I could find is the following,
A colon cleanse
Take tablets of activated charcoal,
Chew on fresh ginger or drink ginger ale,
mint,
Chamomile or tea
vinegar
Probbley not much help but as I thought alot said its the food.
But you could try some of these things but if it doesn't help then I'd ask my Dr. for something and I wouldn't take no for an answer.
I can't imagine what this is like for you.
I am very private,and one night Dan was on the phone with someone and I was getting something off his stand and I broke wind,and I started to say excuse me and he starts hushing me with his hands and it was so funny I just burst out laughing and I had to go in the other room for laughing so hard and for the rest of the night I kept laughing.
Of course I told him why,anyway I just had to share. "
