Can never get enough diarrhea threads in my opinion, so here is yet another.
Had random diarrhea the last 3 days or so. My BMs had been pretty good before that for a couple weeks. I started cyproheptadine again about 5 days ago- I take about 1 mg (was taking at night, last 3 days switched to morning). I don't think it caused diarrhea for me in the past and if anything, it should cause the opposite.
The only other new thing I've introduced is tonic water with quinine. I only had a very small amount. Like 1-2 ounces the first day of diarrhea and 1-3 ounces the second day. A quick Google search shows that diarrhea can be a side effect of quinine. Anyone know why?
The tonic water I'm using also has citric acid... So I guess that's a possible culprit too. I can't find tonic water without it. I'm having trouble believing that the small amount of citric acid in 1-3 ounces of tonic water is causing this much of a problem, but perhaps.
So anyone know about quinine and diarrhea?
