CITIZEN DOSSIER

Priligy diarrhea can happen because dapoxetine affects serotonin pathways not only in the brain but also in the gut. The result may be loose stools, stomach urgency, cramping, nausea, or an unsettled abdomen soon after the dose. In many people it stays mild and short-lived, but it can feel stronger if the medicine is taken on an empty stomach, with alcohol, or during anxiety, since nervous anticipation can worsen bowel activity too. The risk may be higher when starting or when the body is especially sensitive to serotonergic effects. If diarrhea is severe, repeated, or comes with dizziness, faintness, marked weakness, or dehydration, the reaction matters more because Priligy can already cause lightheadedness. Mild episodes are often tolerability issues; persistent or intense diarrhea may mean the drug is not a good fit.
