What Causes Chronic Diarrhea While On Lipitor And Celexa For Anxiety?

Age 62, generally healthy, 68 , 140#, normal blood pressure, slightly elevated cholesterol, take low dose of Lipitor. Take 40 mg Celexa for panic attacks, anxiety. 10 days of diarrhea, started very severe on 6/3, 7-8 times a day, and I went to the ER after 3 days because of possible dehydration. Received fluids , started probiotics and a bland diet. Got slightly better but still haven t had a solid movement. Diarrhea continues 2-3 times/ day, sometimes urgent. No other symptoms , haven t been outside the country, after 10 days I am concerned.

Hello,

Your current medications have nothing to do with diarrhea and it is still persisting then kindly take an antibiotic with probiotics and keep yourself hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
