Yes, I am IBS-D. Somewhere you have been misinformed. SSRI's CAN help offset the gut-brain reaction to processing food too quickly, and thus causing cramping, bloating, gas, and ultimately diarrhea. SSRI's can also be helpful for the IBS-C end of the spectrum. It's really a gut-brain communication correction.

My best to you in finding what actually works for you. I can't recommend anything that puts the brain into a 'fog' and can make one listless. There are some drugs that doctors prescribe that are inappropriate and extremely addictive, thus causing yet even more problems.
