Bravo!
You have my vote for pooet laureate!

Pwah pwah pwah pwah...

I am terrified of how the drug companies now are just busting to get a drug out for everything. Now, I also see alot of happy lawyers, because they often get to have their own commercials after these drugs have been pulled from the market.
"Have you had heart trouble, blah blah, and did you take (fill in blank)! Call the offices today."
I also don't like how the side effects are thrown in at the last moment, spoken at the speed of light.
So, you poor thing, you were one of the people who suffered this side effect. I am sorry. I hope that your bum recovers.

all of those antidepressants are meant to be quick fixes for life's problems. they arent supposed to be taken for extended periods of time. thats what therapy is for. They will wreck your plumbing....

A friend of mine takes Prozac, but produces the most disgusting shits on a regular basis. He's always done this, so the drug must affect people differently

PS, have you had your seratonin levels checked? I had a friend who was poisoned by anti depressants this fall. The problem with alot of these drugs is that the doctors prescribe a high dose, then you are poisoned with seratonin. To alleviate the symptoms of the poisoning, the doctor prescribes a higher dose. Please, check out the web on the subject. I am no expert, but I do know this to be true.

I take Prozac. It causes constipation but nothing that bad. You poor girl!

Does this mean we are getting a Pooetry section? That would be so cool!

So a drug meant to get you humming
killed of part of your plumbing?

hahahah great pooetry

Loved it! A classic!

Thank you for your sympathies!
It should be noted that ischemic colitis is a super rare reaction to certain drugs... so if you’ve been on something for two months or more and haven’t had any problems you can un-clench your buttocks. The bad news is there aint no way to see it comin... it just kind of strangles your large intestine to death until you bleed out :(

Had it not been for the trusty ex-lax to exacerbate the condition in my case it probably would have festered for 1-3 more months (meaning no poop for me!)

Anyway… if anybody knows anybody who has experienced this from a different drug I would be interested to hear about it.

Ouch Lady! Hope things are getting better.

I'm with Daphne as well. I've been depressed before, but I'm more scared of taking medication more than anything just because of the side effects and the grubby lawyers that want to award people for taking them in the first place. That's why I like beer so much. No depression, and I'm guaranteed at least one healthy crap the next day.

POOETRY! What a great concept. Having to stick your finger up your bunghole to get your own poop out, however, is not so great. Glad everything came out alright in the end.

Ah Three Ply.

Let's medicate the old fashioned way!!!

Thank you for the excellent sample (writing, that is). After a bad car accident I was on morphine for several weeks. I couldn't poop practically the whole time. Not even an enema lodged it loose. Digital extraction was the prescription and it was the most excrutiating experience of all. It was a giant turdball stuck above my cornhole. No blood down my leg, just constipation until I tapered off the pain meds. I was told it was a side effect of narcotics and folks who take smack have similar problems. Remember the scene in Trainspotting?

geez, I knew drugs were bad. Some have medical value and nearly all have bad side effects but DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Drugs are bad. mmmkay? Don't do drugs...

I call this "Last night's chili"

That should say:
the creamy caca
that came from my
was quite corrosive
and my culo
continues to burn!!!!

anyways it should
say "came from my
crack"

Happy trails to you Lady G.

That was moving. I'll keep this in mind the next time I get depressed

Happy trails,

Not to mention all the GI problems associated with withdrawal of these damn antidepressants.

SSRIs are the worst!! I am going to ween off of wellbutrin xl (an SNRI) soon and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my colon doesn't just shrivel up and die. If I knew all the side effects and withdrawal problems of antidepressants, I would never EVER started taking them in the first the place.

Of course, I didn't have much of a choice since I was 16 when I started and people watched me take the medicine/check my mouth since they knew I was against the pills.

I sympathize, and very well written too!

beware turds of this world, for i will dominate you

bravo keep an eye out for my installment currently processing

It was your ANTIDEPRESSANTS that gave you poo problems?! Weird!
Poop on!

-Poopgirl

I'm emotionally constipated -
I don't give a shit,
But your plight of not pooping
Is the saddest thing writ.
To stick a digit in the old tan track
To haul some old shit from out of your crack,
Is the most painful of plights ever heard,
And the flowing of blood - oh dear, oh my word!
But the good news (if any) is found here in verse,
From what I've heard things just don't get any worse.
You're taking a pill to ease your poor mind,
And it won't let excrement exit behind.

There is no competent medical evidence to support this thesis.

Lady Gastro, I can relate in a sort of way. I have tried most SSRIs for the last 12 years and I get the shits or concrete-guts during the first few weeks. I recently started Prozac (again) and today,after 8 weeks, I had four big decent clean glistening shits between 7 am and 10 am.

My ex boyfriend was on Aropax and his farts were putrid. Even when he left the room to fart I had to go to the window for fresh air. It was an emergency!
