Yes, it´s listed as a side effect. Check Jimmylegs post above.

As soon as i noticed the blood i rushed to read Cipralex´s information and there was the side-effect

Jimmy yes it is

I´ve dropped the Cipralex for two days now so i guess it was caused by it...quite scary though

So i`ve gone to the bathroom to evacuate this morning but didn´t noticed any blood. Everything normal.

Hey Fab Don't quit it cold turkey (get nasty withdrawal effects), rather drop to half a tab per day until you see your doc. Do you take any anti-inflammatories? If not, it could just be a small pile in the rectum where you might not be aware of it, especially if the blood is bright red - this indic...

jimmylegs wrote:fab does cipralex treat mainly the emotional facets of having ms, or does it do something else too?

It´s mainly to treat depression and anxiety. Mind you i don´t have ms (or at least i think so)

Damm, i´m going to stop it right away.

I don´t know if i can finish cold turkey but got me worried yet again... i will go to the doctor this week to explain the situation.

I have to update this again. I´ve been taking the cipralex for about 2 weeks but today i noticed blood after in my excrements after a d*** (sorry about this word). The blood is bright red and just small amounts nothing major but it got me worried. Could this be caused by Cipralex? I can´t see any ot...

AllyB, is that´s exactly how i was feeling. Like i was floating when walking which makes me say it´s a balance problem. I described this feeling as a feeling that didn´t need assistence to walk which made this symptom even more strange because from what i know the balance issues with ms unfortunatel...

AllyB you got that right :) And i´m a "he" btw :wink: I still feel a little strange feeling but it is slow going away. What´s strange in this issue is the fact that it isn´t a balance that like i said before, i am going to fall or need to grab things or need to use a cane. It´s a strange f...

3 day with the Cipralex and things going even better.

I find it hard to believe that my body was so stressed to have this kind of symptoms.

Anyway i hope things go better from now on but i will still not be confident about not having MS since as we all know it´s a pretty hard disease to diagnose.

It seems the Cipralex is making an effect.

I started it yesterday and this balance feeling was starting to gone...today i can´t feel anything. I feel more calm, less irritated and things go smoothly

So an unsteady walk is noticed by you and by others right?

What´s strange in me is that i only feel if you know what i mean.
I walk normally, run normally, jump normally everything is normal and only the feeling isn´t it.

I´ve started the Cipralex today to see what happens.

How do you describe unsteadiness when walking? Is it a feeling that you are going to fall off, like your balance isn´t right? Is it a drunk walk? Or is it just an odd feeling that you feel you are blocking? It´s really strange whats happening to me because i have this feeling that something is wrong...

Ok, i went to the Neuro this morning and he told me to rest a bit and to take an anti-depressant called Cipralex. I already was planning to take Cipralex which my family doctor (i think you call GP in your country) prescribed but didn´t take it because i prefered to recover through other means (doin...

Lyon thanks for the welcome

I haven´t been dagnosed with anything but i´m had diplopia a few months ago and now i´m feeling a sensation that my balance isn´t right although i don´t fall or grab things to walk around.

I´m also feeling internal tremors.
