Donna, I don't remember the exact quote in Heather's book, but if the Celexa is helping your depression, I would say stay on it.

Amitriptyline is an old fashioned tricyclic antidepressant with a lot of nuisance side effects like dry mouth and drowiness. The newer ones like Celexa are much better.

But I would say talk to your doctor about it. There are certainly lots of different antidepressant available now and he or she might be more than willing to switch you to a different one based on your IBS.

Welcome to the board, it's a great place with lots of info. Hope you keep coming back and give some of the other suggestions here a try!
