My mother is suffering from AIH. She is on steroid for some time now. On noticing depression, doctors have suggested her daily dosage of Zapiz. She has developed this continuous regurgitating kind of action. Is it because of steroid or side effect of Zapiz? Whats the olution to come out of it?
Hello, your mother is on steroid and has developed depression and was put on rapid. Then she developed regurgitation. Now you suspect rapid for the same.First-steroid, when given for longtime - can cause depression and many other psychiatric disorders. (it is seen very commonly in clinical practice).second: rapid is not a Chat Doctor.  Your mother should revive something like~ sertraline/ Escitalopram etc.Third-the regurgitation appears to be due to reflux, which is most probably related to steroid use and not rapid. Rapid does not cause this thing commonly. However, another possibility can be because of depression/ anxiety. So, I would sincerely advise you should talk to a psychiatrist in detail about your mother. Hope the reply is useful please feel free to ask more questions
