For Michelle re. antidepressants and IBS-C       06/26/03 02:11 PM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Yes, I have experience with some of the antidepressants, having suffered from depression in the past. I took Wellbutrin for a short period and yes, it made me constipated too. Zoloft gave me diarrhea the first couple of days I took it, but the doctor said this would resolve itself after my body adjusted to it, and it did. I just tried a low dose of Celexa this week at the suggestion of my gastro doc. He ssys it gives a lot of patients with IBS-C relief from their symptoms. It gave me diarrhea the first few days I took it, but I'm sure that was just my body adjusting to it. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue it for another reason which is unrelated to IBS. If you take it for IBS-C, it's at a much lower dose than that for depression. I was happy that my bloating and stomach pains disappeared while on it (I felt 5 pounds lighter!) but that may have been because I had diarrhea too! Good luck! You may want to give it a try.
