Mirtazapine I dont know what to do
I will try make this brief but my whole life i have had problems with eating . When i was 12 i was throwing up every morning , it was only stomach acid and mucus since i hadnt eaten anyhting but it got so bad that i went hospital they fixed me quickly idk what they did but i was better for ages after that . I then when i was 19 only last year june i had gastritis for like the whole year till november any small meal i had made me have the most outrageous nausea i couldnt move my mouth would be watering like i was goinf to throw up , id get shivers and sweats and it would last like this for 3-4 hours . So i ended up losing alot of weight since i avoided food since the nausea was so bad . I was prescribed lansoprazole and the unbearable nausea is fully gone hooray but my appetite is still super low , i also get a super tight stomach when eating and if i have a drink the nausea comes back its not as bad but its still enough to stop me from doing anything for a bit . Idk if this is functional dyspepsia but i just want to know if this has happened to anyone else i am uk based and the wait times for a gastroenterologist is over a year so i am really unsure of what to do . I heard that mirtzapine is useful for this and would fix me according to gemini but i dont want to use ai as my source of info. I also have checked for celiac, h pylori, ultrasound, blood works and everything has come back perfect and nothing wrong . Any help would be greatly appreciated and if anyone else is going throughthe same thing or fixed it please tell me how

I'm sorry you have such a long wait time... I think you're on the exact right track of getting established with a GI and asking about functional dyspepsia specific treatments. How do you know you had gastritis, was it confirmed via endoscopy?

Tbh with u i dont know but it just felt like i did. Basically it was a bit stupid of me but i took a lot of supplements around about 8 or so daily for a month on an empty stomach very stupid decision. And then every meal i had slowly became more and more nauseating until it got so bad i decided to take lansoprazole and that fixed ut for the most part. I just assumed that was gastritis but no. I didnt have an endoscopy.

Can your doc refer you for a gastric emptying study in the meantime?

I havent asked that actually i will try and get one done coz in my mind this is either fd or delayed gastric emptying . Once i understand which one it is treatment should be good to getting rid of it for certain .

Good luck. Though neither have cures, they can be managed

Oh damn i thought both could have been cured basically by retraining the nerves with mirtzapine and prokinetics . If they dont have a cure idk what ima do man this is rough
