For my IBS-D, I've been put on several anti-anxiety/depression drugs. I started with Prozac, then Zoloft (different doses), then Lexapro, and now Celexa. I don't think any of them have helped with my IBS at all. Sometimes I feel that they might take the edge off so I don't get so worked up about things, but each drug has its own side effects. They didn't upset my stomach, that I could tell, but the other side effects were too much (crazy, violent dreams, sleeping all day, and lack of sex drive).
I'm on a low dose of Celexa now, but I don't think it's doing anything. I'm wondering if I should stop taking it or find out if my dr. wants to increase it or try something else.
Sometimes I think doctors hear "anxiety" or "depression" and forget about the IBS part.
Good luck!
Emily
