I've had IBS for about five years now, but it never really bothered me all that much becuase it would only act up occasionally around my periods, but other than that I was fine, so I never gave it much thought. Now, ever since April, my symptoms have been acting up more so. As a result I've gone into depression. I guess I'm still hoping that I might some day feel normal again, just like I used to. But what if that doesn't happen?
And now, even when I'm not having any symptoms, or they are very mild, I still get extremely depressed out of the blue. I fear food. I'm scared to live my life. I'm wondering if a lot of it is in my head. Anyhow, the purpose for this long post, is I'm wondering if anyone out there is on Anti-depressants. I did some research and found that Paxil is supposed to be good for people with IBS and depression, but who knows. I'm scared to try it because what if it makes things worse. Does anyone have some advice on the matter?
Thanks.
