What Causes Bowel Incontinence While On Nortriptyline And Cilostazol?

I am currently taking nortriptyline for help to enable me to decrease what I call the morning agonies which are the result of too little blood flow after a night s sleep. I don t have pain during the night at least not until about 3 04 in the morning. Then I am awakened by extreme lack of feeling except for a sense of heaviness in the legs . Difficult getting back to sleep then. I still have the morning agonies but they don t last as long as they did before the medication. I m taking this in conjunction with cilostazol, In the past weak I ve had three experiences of needing to evacuate my bowel but by the time I reach the toilet it has already happened but I had no feeling that it did that. I m concerned since I ve had regular and fairly normal bowel movements but these are a little softer than normal but not watery. Is there a fee for this?

Hello,

This does sound like an infection and he needs blood tests to confirm the same for which you need to work with your physician.
