Naproxen doesn't burn up your tummy? That's Aleve, right? I can't take it cos it'll send me into an IBS fit that lasts for days. The others I have all heard of except for the Effexor XR-- is that an AD? I was on a couple of ADs but they made me so depressed I was suicidal so i had to be taken off of them pronto.
The amyltriptaline I take only to go to sleep, although it's perscribed to depressed patients to take during the day in higher doses. It's not addicting as other sleep aids, and it boosts seratonin! It does make me a wee bit groggy in the morning though, so that might not work for you if you have to be up.
Yeah, let me know about the other board you mentioned. Laura Sue mentioned Fibrohugs to me once, and I went there but it seemed a little sparse. It would be great to get one with a bunch of fellow IBS-ers from this board! Nothing like having a built in group of friends already there!
