So, about a year and a half ago I decided to take up vaping - stupid idea, I know. I'm just in the process of quitting now.

One of the side effects of the vaping seems to be some degree of gastrointestinal distress - like a constant irritation in my stomach/stomach can't churn properly.

I've just started on SSRIs and it seems to have made this a lot worse.

Is it possible that the GI distress is causing the severe anxiety and dysphoria I've been experiencing? If so, I will mention this to my GP - I'm on omeprazole, but there may be something more efficacious they can prescribe to ease the distress.
