Its weird because 6 months ago i felt i had everything under control. My ibs wasnt causing me problems, my bms were usually normalish and i was getting on with my life.
But then thr whole anxiety thing hit, and everything fell apart. Sometimes i think i may not suffer from ibs at all, and all my problems are anxiety / stress related. But i guess the two are so closely linked that i'll never be sure.
I'm going to mention amitryptiline to the docs when i go tuesday, it seems like it has helped alot of anxiety / ibs-d sufferers. Seems like the best one to try first. I know when i went last time, she mentioned prozac, but after reading here and from various other resources, it looks like that might not suit me, as it has D side effects.
I'll keep you all updated, and thanks for the advice and support. It's comforting to know ppl i dont even know can take a little time from their day to try and help little old me.
