LOL Okay

Back when my disease crisis of the moment was MS and I was trying psych med after psych med, I experienced a lot of weird shit like dizziness, urinary retention, and blurred vision, which did not help my worries that I had MS. And one thing I distinctly remember being constantly told from my mother was it's probably side effects from the medicine. Well, now I am back on medicine and feeling like shit and my mother is finding all of these things to blame my symptoms on. Except the medicine. So now all of a sudden it's not the medicine? When before every thing I had was from the medicine? That's rich coming from the same person who within 5 minutes of taking medicine has every side effect listed in the drug pamphlet. But apparently because antidepressants have never affected her digestive system I guess they can't affect anyone else's.

And why couldn't antidepressants affect the digestive system? First off, every drug on the market, if you look up the side effects, there are bound to be 3 side effects- nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. And there is serotonin in the digestive system, so why couldn't a drug that TARGETS SEROTONIN not affect the digestive system in some shape or form?

10:25PM: See, I am not entirely crazy (from this article):

Given the two brains' commonalities, other depression treatments that target the mind can unintentionally impact the gut. The enteric nervous system uses more than 30 neurotransmitters, just like the brain, and in fact 95 percent of the body's serotonin is found in the bowels. Because antidepressant medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) increase serotonin levels, it's little wonder that meds meant to cause chemical changes in the mind often provoke GI issues as a side effect. Irritable bowel syndrome—which afflicts more than two million Americans—also arises in part from too much serotonin in our entrails, and could perhaps be regarded as a "mental illness" of the second brain.
