Ive been on a subtherapeutic dosage of prozac(for panic disorder) - ie 7mg , for years...perhaps thats why the IBS never really kicked in......since becoming IBS symptomatic 2 weeks ago, i increased the doage to 10mg(per doctors orders).....i find that im not obsessing as much about my stomach or bowel......eventhough Im not going daily, etc......pain is much much better.....only drawback is that I have increased panic/anxiety and dizziness/nausea since that always happens when you start or increase ssri type drugs(ie prozac) for some...hopefully i can stick with this (if side effects go away) and it will work for both ibs and panic, otherwise i will go back down to 7mg.....and have to figure something else out....i also started a probiotic and citrucel...SSRIs are worth a try for some....it might be the solution to get you over the hump and its not a life sentence of taking these meds either.....
