Discussion: I have been depressed for a long time and have been using Cipralex for about 3 years. I am afraid to stop.

I appreciate that many CKD patients are unaware of the strong connection between kidney and liver functions. The liver often functions poorly in patients with chronic kidney diseases due to overload. The intestinal flora is damaged and unbalanced when the liver does not produce enough bile fluid. In this situation, serotonin production in the intestines is impaired.

Cipralex contains substances that inhibit the absorption of the neurotransmitter serotonin and raise its level in the blood. Serotonin has a known effect on mood, depression, and anxiety. Serotonin is mainly produced in the gut in the presence of good bacteria, so a balanced and proper diet significantly impacts our mood. The problem is prolonged use of Cipralex has many side effects, including decreased sexual function. Discontinuation of use may cause side effects; it is advisable to accompany the discontinuation of Cipralex with a balanced diet of unprocessed foods containing dietary fiber and natural probiotics such as goat yogurt.
