Reflux caused by Meds

Hi,

I have a general question about meds. Over the past couple of years, I have tried several anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds. They ALL seem to cause GERD, or at least a severe burning sore throat. The ones I've tried are: Serzone, Celexa, Buspar, and Prozac. When I quit the meds, the burning goes away. WHY do these cause this problem? Would putting them in an empty capsule help any? This is such a mystery to me. Have you ever heard of this problem?

Thank you very much.

Brenda
