I have been suffering from major upper stomach gurgling for a while now (abt 6 mths)and some nausea, i had fundoplications surg. 4 years ago, I am Female 33, widowed with 4 kids. I get most of the discomfort on my left side about 2" up and 2" to the left of the belly button. I think it may be partly due to stress, i just had a upper gi done 5 days ago (no results yet)the dr. put me on paxil a few weeks ago but the side effects for me were horrible i felt more aniexty than before, i am really stressing here I am sick and tired or feeling sick and tired. i take a mild traq. when really bad and that helps, any ideas?? do you think it is stess? any idea what to do ??

To be quite honest, the only part of your ordeal that I have knowledge with is Paxil. I have been diagnosed with severe depression and have been on Paxil..... actually I am still on 5mg of it. Before I started taking anti-depressants, I had never had a panic or anxiety attack in my life. After a few weeks on Paxil, they became a regular occurance (some were quite severe). After four and a half months of being on 40mg of Paxil, I was having crazy side effects. Ex. Insominia, sweating (excessive), food cravings, stomache problems (quite like yours), nightmares...... I could go on and on. Is the Paxil only taken for anxiety? I must tell you though, I have been on different anti-depressants, and it does take between 3 - 8 weeks to start the full effect. All of them do have side effects, good and bad, but if they are making the situation much worse, a switch is definatly needed. I am not sure if this helps at all, but I do feel that Paxil is playing a huge role. I hope you get your results very soon, and I would talk to your doctor about maybe trying a different anti-depressant. If you have any questions, please ask :) And please let us know how everything makes out :) Take Care.
