Reply to "Pouch leaks might be from SSRI anti-depressants and other drugs"

The drug you are considering is not a classic SSRI so comparing dosages is not going to be useful. Your doc will adjust the dose for your fibro and that's the dose you'll need to be able to tolerate (and you'll probably be just fine). I was not able to tolerate even tiny doses of the liquid form of Paxil (called a suspension) which would be the equivalent of 2 mg tablet -- that's well below the therapeutic dosage of this drug for depression. But all this may have no bearing on your case at all! In my case (at a higher dose), the leaking came first before any pain. Leaking is not something you could induce by your mind playing "tricks" so unless you get real pouch pain, you are probably safe if you don't leak. And if you do leak, see if a lower dose will work, etc. Best of luck!
