Do you take prescription meds?

I'm curious if you are on any prescription meds? I have had patm for over two years. I take Wellbutrin (bupropion) for depression. I'm experimenting with a few weeks without the medication and I think it may be reducing reactions. Any one else on prescription meds, specifically depression medication?

There were several articles published recently about antidepressants linked with antibiotic-resistance, especially Prozac (Fluoxetine). Not sure if there's a connection between other medications, but I was on Prozac a couple years ago. After I stopped using it, my PATM reactions began. Could this be one of the causes?

Funny enough you mention this I took Oxybutynin for awhile and a bit excessively, I keep thinking that this messed up my gut and caused this curse of a phenomenon.

That's interesting. If I understood correctly, then you took it before PATM had already started for you?
I don't know much about oxybutynin, but I know that a lot of medications mess with the natural balance of the body. I just wonder what damage we've done to our bodies from long-term use of prescription drugs.
Yup, just before I noticed PATM.  I've stopped taking it because I think I damaged my gut and now these out of this world bacteria are causing this.  Hopefully in time it will reheal and I can be rid of this curse.

I am not encouraging any one to stop prescription meds without supporting from a doctor. However, I am curious if a lot of us are on a particular medication?
