Pages: 1 Zoloft for IBS-C       #365952 - 08/31/11 07:42 AM Edit Reply Quote MomD Reged: 01/31/11 Posts: 3 Does anyone have experience using Zoloft for IBS-C? My 19 year old daughter was prescribed a low dose of Zoloft for IBS-C symptoms, and also to deal with the accompanying anxiety that has developed. The Zoloft was prescribed by a well-qualified psychiatrist. My daughter is hesitant to take it for fear of making symptoms worse. Any other antidepressants used successfully? Any help is appreciated.
