my psychiatrist has tried to put me on antidepressants for depression twice so far ( I donīt believe they could actually help with shy bowel, I need them for other mental issues)- but I got horrible side effects both times - horrible anxiety, insomnia, and what I consider the worst part of the side effects - urination problems.
Since Iīve got paruresis as well itīs extremely hard for me to urinate in public places or when someone is around - but when I was on antidepressants I had to wait like 10 minutes even at the privacy of my own house to be able to pee...
So Iīm confused what to do now - I know Iīve got depression/anxiety issues that wonīt just go away out of the blue, thatīs for sure - itīs really hard for me to even do everyday activities, but like you I struggle with the side effects... if only I knew if itīs worth it to stick with the meds and the side effects will subside...
