> I have tried several druga for depression. The others I have tried have not helped, but hurt. I have found that Effexor XR is the best one for me. The problem I have is a loose stool every 3 days. I take Imodium to counteract the problem, but I would like to know if anyone has any advice?
Imodium is worthless, in my opinion. The only thing that's ever cured diarrhea for me in the past is Citrucel. I know you're thinking "Huh? I thought that was a laxative." Well, it is and it isn't. It works both ways by acting as a bulking agent to move things along. It will absorb all the excess moisture. I had diarrhea for one month straight as a result of IBS, and after using Citrucel for one day, it completely disappeared. I hope this helps!
