Re: Typical timeline of IBS?       11/07/09 01:11 PM Edit Reply Quote Windchimes Reged: 09/05/09 Posts: 581 Loc: Northern California Yes, you are absolutely right... IBS control is very different for everyone. We each need to consider our options, and give things a trial and error process. If you stick to the basics and then give other things a try, absent mixing multiple things, you will find out what your personal 'triggers' actually are. Prescription drugs such as Librium is mind-altering and not something is beneficial for resolving gastrointestinal problems effectively. It can put people into a 'fog' that leaves one not knowing which end is up nor which end is down. I encourage you to get off of it and ask your doctor for a mild SSRI instead. The SSRI can help the gut and mind communicate better for a lot of people, like myself. I personally would be leary of any doctor who prescribes Librium for IBS symptoms. Sounds like he wants to get the 'monkey' off of his back... you being his patient. Just another example of how medical doctors rarely know how to effectively treat this condition and prefer to drug and dismiss their patient. -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
