I agree with him wholeheartedly       10/19/04 01:46 PM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) I had the same problem - they couldn't say for sure that my IBS was caused by anxiety, but long-standing anxiety disorders (since I was a kid!) definitely weren't helping any. I was put on Lexapro (anti-anxiety/antidepressant) and I can't even BELIEVE how much better I feel. I'm not cured, but pretty darn close! I can't exactly speak for the effectiveness of therapy vs. meds. I was seeing a therapist for my anxiety disorders for a couple months, and really didn't see any improvement until I went on the Lexapro. Then again, a friend who is a psychologist herself, upon hearing my experiences with my therapist, says that she was a pretty lousy therapist, so maybe that was the problem. Give it a try - it could really help! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
