Oops! I forgot to tell that I take magnesium and b6 pills 4 times a day. I read that you can take up to 1000 mg of magnesium a day.
Hi Annie,
I am still taking my SSRI (zoloft 100 mg) . Magnesium and B6 have eased my diarrhea. Although it is not completely gone. I just need to go to the bathroom once a day or every over day. In my case it's a huge improvement. My bloating is under control, but I really need to pee more than usual. I guess it's a good sign. I take 400 mg of magnesium and 60 mg of B6 a day
Hi! Am having chronic diarrhea/bloating taking Prozac. Just wondering, your post says that magnesium and B6 has helped. Are you still taking your S.S.R.I and these two supplements have helped or have you gone off of your S.S.R.I and have eased your diarrhea taking the two supplements you'd mentioned? Am so hoping you reply...just for curiosity's sake, which S.S.R.I are you taking/were you taking? Thanks, Annie.B.H.
SSRI user with chronic Diarrhea for two years, I might have found the cure : Magnesium and B6 vitamin. I guess the SSRI depletes your body of magnesium and B6, that might have been the cause all along.
It really does the trick. I have no more diarrhea and I can eat everything. My bloating is also gone I lost 9 pounds in two weeks, all water.
It works for me
I'm in a similar situation right now. What did you find out?
I'm glad I ran upon this. I've been experiencing the same problem now for a long while. They have been changing up my meds trying to find something to help me. I'm currently on Lexapeo and have been having major bowel problems. I just recently went to the Dr about the problem actually and had to take back 5 stool samples. I've not gotten any results back yet, but I guess I will see what he has to say and keep pushing the issue until something is figured out. I don't know how much more my sore bottom can take.
