i have ibs-d also. i could not take prozac for even a day. it made me sick and very dizzy. for 20 years i have been on buproprion for depression and loperamide for the diarhea but still have it a couple times a month.
was prescribed prozac for ibs-d and anxiety. i now have worse diarrhea upon waking. would tricyclic a. d. be better? . i've been taking prozac for a week. first was prescribed lexapro which caused constipation all day except in the morning so was switched to prozac. i have worse diarrhea in the morning than i did on no medication! everything i've read says ssri's are good for constipation not diarrhea. tricyclic a. d. are better. i've also read about people later getting colitis and c. diff due to being on prozac long-term which scares me.
