Question
Ranmic
I have a couple of questions. I have been taking Paxil for awhile now and have developed acid reflux (GERD). I have a constant nagging cough, heartburn and sometimes stomach acid will come up. I know one of the side affects of Paxil that I have read is GERD or acid reflux but have any of you dealt with this?
Also, should I file this as a new claim and list that taking Paxil for my mood disorder is the cause? I'm assuming that is the way to go as I don't think I want to file for an increase in mood disorder and say the increase is for gerd/acid reflux.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
