I am having like 2-3 bowel movements a day.
My Dr. has me on one hundred mg. of Zoloft and 5 mg. of Abilify. I have been on them for about 3.5 weeks. Sure my appetite has increased, but not by too much. Many times during the day when I urinate, after I am through, I then feel a pressure to have a bowel movement. When I push to satisfy the urge, I usually poop a little. This happens 2-3 times a day and never happened prior to being on the meds. Even if I eat less (which I have tried to do), I still poop at least twice a day. Before I was on meds, I only had a bowel movement every other day. |

1. talk to your doctor
2. add more fiber to your diet & possibly a fiber tablet |

| Hmmm I've been on Anti depressants for years and had some sleepiness/dry mouth issues but never this. Try drinking more water and see if that helps. Maybe get OTC gassex and see if that helps. |
