Went on generic ambien 11 months ago. 5mg. short term memory problems, hair loss, dark circles. Started tapering 3 weeks ago @1/2, 2.5 mg. Last night first night w/o...(taking supplements) spacey w/ headaches this past 3 weeks but I sleep ok. tapering is the way to go.
I have the same problem. I feel like I'm nervous in my stomach. .it seems like stomach got hit by a lightning that kind of feeling. I have yellow/pale stool for over a month now and everything I see online is serious illnesses. Ultrasound and blood tests were normal. Colonoscopy and endoscopy were normal but I have h. Pylori and currently in antibiotics for 14 days. I am concerned about the yellow stool.
I have been having loose Bright yellow (not diarrhea ) stool for two weeks now. I have major anxiety issues. And am constantly concerned about my health. I have been a hypochondriac for6 years and it is now peaking after being 35 Abd having 3 healthy girls. Help!!!! Having constant panic attacks Abd living in my own hell right now.
i am a paramedic . . i ve been suffering withe same by the past three months . . . And i had the hisory of Inflamatory bowel disease too . Rt now . . Stool is loose coz of anxiety and stress . . Buh i beliue . . Anxiolytics can only help to get rid from this condition . . And can try probiotics if intolerancy has developed . .
It sounds like diarhea to me also. For example, I have been very anxious these last few days and everytime I go number 2, (which is now a few times a day because of my anxiety) it is very loose, like diarhea..sometimes it is light and sometimes brown...I know that anxiety effects my stomach terribly...that is what it sounds like to me also. However, if the loose stools continues, it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor and have him check it out. Very easy to do. You take samples for 3 days and they can check it for infections, blood, etc.....
However, the color seems normal to me and it seems to be all related to your anxiety...
oh myyyyyyy, when i have a anxiety attack a baaaad one,
i have HORRIBLE diarhea.
its completley normal.
Thank you everyone. I was worried for a while that I was having some liver problems or what not. to greenlydia, im sorry.. I didn't realize I posted 2 things of the same sort. I'm having a bit of amnesia due to a lot of lorazepam to keep me calm until the prozac kicks in.
Yellow stools, green loose stools... all sounds like your stomach is kind of nervous and you are eating very light things... which are healthy things too... so your body is absorbing a lot of it... and the rest is.... loose stool.
I get these when I'm having major anxiety b/c I don't eat almost at all. I have to force myself to eat, and my nervous stomach makes my digestive system go out of whack, and i get diarhea... and it looks yellow, green... mucus like..
All normal. You are fine. =)
PLEASE go and read my post titled "To New Posters."
ESPECIALLY the post from nursegirl regarding starting a new thread with yet more symptoms!
I just spent about an hour responding to your first post which was marked as being written 2 hours ago. Now I see you have posted AGAIN.........also with a post time of 2 hours ago! This second post now lists a symptom you did NOT mention in your first post. This is really a VERY confusing way to post and does NOT make it easy for those of us trying to help you to get the "full picture."
Are there any other symptoms you would care to share with us NOW?
If you are having the length panic attacks that you say you are having. It is normal to have that type and color of stools. so don't worry about it. I know it is hard but i get them normally the day after a major panick attack. It is just nerves that are working on overdrive. Hope this helps
I doubt your anxiety has led to anything serious.
Have you been eating vegetables and fruit?
I have experienced this sort of stool also. Try some red meats also. I would give your medicine a week or 2 more and see if this still continues.
It is most likely due to your diet however.
Best to you
