Has anyone ever suffered from a dodgy stomach due to antidepressants?

Just wondered whether it was a common or normal side effect to have.

Answers:
It can happen in the first couple of weeks of taking them. After about two to three weeks the side effects will disappear and the tablets will start making you feel less depressed. It's worth riding it out through the side effects to get to that stage! Try eating a Bio Yoghurt or Yakult type drink every day, this will help ease your stomach.

Read the leaflet that came with them or talk to your pharmacist. It depends on the brand, dosage etc.
Yeah it can be, depends on how they work. Some can make you constipated and some can give you diarrhoea.
It depends on the antidepressant.
An upset stomach can be a side effect.
I love the way you folks speak- how can you be depressed?

all medications have effect and not allpeople get them- be happy, beliee me, I know.
most tablets bugger your guts up one way or another
yes, i was on venlafaxine as my whole gastro system went up the creek, cramps, sickness, diarrhoea etc etc. got put on citalopram after and it was fine. check out the packet insert and the side effects should be listed. as with all medications, unwanted side effects should be discussed with your pharmacist ar doctor
Dodgy stomach, I dunno what that is. However, yes it can give stomachaches I think.doctors should have a list of all the possible side effects from taking certain medications right in their offices.
I did with venlofaxin, but it depends on the individual.

It should be listed on the side effects on the patient leaflet if it is a side effect.
all tablets have a side effect .just don't read the leaflet u will feel worse than ever
Yes, with about half of the stuff I was given at various times. My doctor told me that it isn't a possible side effect at all, but the printed info I got from the pharmacist said that it is pretty common.
there are numerous side effects from antidepressants.. most will decrease in 2 weeks of usage
I get sick in the stomach from Erythromycin. Some pills can cause stomach problems. Why not get on Yahoo health and check out the side effects?
I notice with the cocktail of meds they have me on I get what it must feel like with pregnancy- the stomach wooziness that my wife described while carrying our two. Last night I just had to sit as still as possible and stop using the computer before my stomach finally settled down.
Depakote-1500mg, Lithium- 1500mg, Welbutrin XL- 300mg, and a multi-vitamin.
i did 1st weeks its just a change that's all if you have had it more than week see Dr
