Apparently, a “gastrointestinal reflex stomach ulcer” or something.

Well, I’m taking this seriously.

Yesterday, I was at the urgent care. It felt, well, horrible. I was throwing up.

Jesus, it was quite something, but I feel better now.

But I need to take care of this issue and want to commit myself to better physical health and exercise as well as strength training.

No more NSAIDs. Frankly, I don’t want to take ever fucking again.

I’m also throwing away that dumb anti-GERD medication taht made me, well, sick.

Also, Trintellix is going out too.

Edit: The medicine that may have likely contributed, in my estimation, was definitely the Pantoprazole Sod Dr 40 Mg Tab (reading from the bottle here lol)

    These medications are normal for your condition and pretty low-risk. It’s good you’re seeing a gastroenterologist soon, but I wouldn’t worry about continuing to take what you were given as prescribed.

      You mean the Trintellix and the anti-GERD, right?

      Because I am taking what they JUST gave me two nights ago, just fyi.

      For now.

        No, I’m just talking about the ones you said you’re taking, ondansetron (for nausea), omeprazole (PPI, which is maybe what you’re calling anti-GERD, but it’s also used to treat ulcers), and maalox. These are all completely normal for the condition you’re describing. I don’t know what you were prescribed the Trintellix for, and it sounds like something you should definitely talk with your doctor about!

          Yeah, I’m not taking Trintellix anymore. Someone told me that it fucked up their friend’s GI tract as well.

            It is a PPI and is used to treat GERD and ulcers. It definitely sounds like you have a lot to talk with your doctor about! I hope you get feeling better.
