Does Having Dilatin And Paxil Cause Stomach Upset?

The drs. keep giving my husband medications for depression, and all it does is make him sleep all the time. he alreadt takes Dilantin, and he gets sick every four week, sick at his stomach once a hour for 24 hours, and then for the next week he is too tired to move. now they gave him paxil and now he is sick again, and its been four weeks. Years ago he had a dr. and she gave him 1/2 mg. of Ativan and it helped him fine, he keeps teeling the drs, he is not depressed.

Hello,
Paxil can cause constipation. If your husband and you that he is not depressed, dose can be decreased slowly. But take care that the drugs are not stopped prematurely. Antidepressants are given for atleast 6months after complete recovery from symptoms.
Thanks.
