I've taken it before in high doses for depression. Are the side effects less serious at the lower does used for IBS? Thanks!

My dose is pretty low 20mgs a day but it still has effects on my mood. I seem to be calmer in general. The prescribing doctor said the effects can take up to 1 month or more. High doses are not used to treat IBS and low dose treatments have few side effects. I don't feel any side effects. I really don't want to be on it for a long time but I need to give it at least 6 months I think. Anyway, good luck. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
