Hi Everyone,
I take Hyzarr, Lotrel, (for BP)...Effexor and Doxepin (depression, anziety)...Ultram (pain). My doc just increased the Effexor to 225 mg, that seems to be when the trouble started, but the side affect is rated very low. I also take vitamins of different kinds, Glucosamine and Lutein. The only new things are the effexor dose and also a recent upage in Doxepin dose. I am living on antacids, and they aren't helping. Anyone got any idea? BTW, I also have IBS but this is constant, not like when I'm under stress and it acts up. Help!!!! :confused:

Hi, :)
Effexor could cause stomach burning, and unfortunately, I'm really not familiar with Hyzarr and Lotrel, but you could have an ulcer. I'm assuming that you have seen a gasteroenterologist/currently go to one, so if antacids aren't helping, you should ask to be tested for H. Pylori, the bacteria that causes ulcers. That's a rather heavy load of meds, so all of them together could possibly be doing a number on your tummy. Good luck:)
