> Hi....I have found the best relief from a drug called loperamide. It is OTC here in Canada, so I don't know if you need a script or not. It will make things more regular until the side effect passes.

I have been taking antidepressants now almost continually for the past ten years and have had several long peiods on Seroxat/Paxil. This has been for me a univeral problem with all of the SSRI's but it does pass (excuse the pun) after a few months. There is no reason why in the meantime you can't take Imodium (loperamide) or another anti-diahorreal and I am sure your GP would be happy to write you an NHS script for it (its cheaper that way). Hope this helps.
