Does Sertraline And Lyrica Cause Diarrhea?
I have terrible diarrhea and have had it for about 10 months. What can I do to get rid of this and what could be causing this. I take 100 mg of sertraline and 50 mg of lyrica at nite. Would this cause the problem. I have had a colonoscopy that was good and on Thursday I am drinking barium for X-rays of my intestines. My doctor can not figure out what is causing it.

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
Any medicine can also such kind of side effect. There are chances that sertraline and lyrica can cause diarrhea. Chances of diarrhea with sertraline is about >10% incidence and with lyrica is less than 1%. In ur case if all investigations are normal, u can shift to another antidepressant like Des-venlafaxine to overcome this issue. In case u need our help, u can connect us.
