Hi - my name is sara - I hava suffered with severe depression and crones
disease.
Both are well under control now.
There is one problem that I cannot get my doctors to address.I take
Effexor for the depression and Trazadone to help me sleep. They work
well and my crones is ok. I have noticed that I am getting more and
more constipated. A problem I have never had before, It is getting
extreme. Could the Trazadone be causing this. It is the only thing I
can thing of that has changed. I am so uncomfortable and am taking way
to much to help this problem and nothing works. My doctor does not seem
to take this a s a serious problem as I do not have a blockage now. I
had surgery 6 months aago. Can anyone offer some advice?
Thank-you
