I was just wondering if any of you guys knew if any of my medications could result in bloating? I would call my pharmacy but I always feel like doctors/pharmacists think I'm a loon b/c I take so many things. :embarassed:

I take:

Cymbalta
Neurontin
Buspar
Levothyroxine
Ortho Tri Cylcen
Vesicare
Miralax

    Yes. Go to webmd.com for what I have found to be a very user friendly drug reference list.
