Reading these posts to try to educate myself. I have some sort of IBS symptoms going on. Long history of anti depressant use. I currently take 5mg escitalopram. Also take lamotrigine ER 100mg daily for seizure prevention. That drug tied to GI issues so my origional dose was lamotrigine IR 100mg daily. I had my gallbladder removed in October 2014. Bile flows into my intestines from this. I am working on dietary changes which is helping. Green tea for me helpful. Diet soda as much as I like it makes me worse. I take Metamucil 1-2 teaspoons several times daily. I finally got an appointment with gastroenteroligist in November. I have been researching my symptoms. Any helpful posts would be appreciated. I wish the anti depressant push by big pharma had never happened. For me dealing with my trauma and codependency issues worked well. More than medication for behavioral health issues.
I hv hd ibs symptoms for 7 years & a year ago I was hvn pain before
my BM when I was on Zoloft so my stomach doctor wanted my regular doctor to put me on
Cymbalta depression medicine so I got on it and I started hvn weight problems so after a year I convinced my regular Dr to put me back on Zoloft first I was on 100 mg & then my regular Dr put me on 150 mg bc I felt I needed to get on a higher mg but I hv started hvn the pain before BM but I have read comments on here to eat before taking Zoloft so I am going to try that & I will give a update very soon 🙂
