Re: Antidepressants vs. Excercise       03/06/07 04:36 AM Edit Reply Quote kamikat Reged: 11/17/06 Posts: 160 I used to take large amounts of anti-depressants for major depressive episodes and severe anxiety disporder. I stopped taking those many years ago. I recently started taking very low dose amitriptylin for my IBS. It has made a world of difference. Back then, I was taking Prozac and 150mg of amitriptylin. I felt foggy and drowsy all the time and had other unpleastant side affects (ie intimate issues). On the low dose, I have none of the unpleasant side affects and the IBS attacks are now limited to only the first day of my period. The amount of meds needed for IBS are so much lower that they are much safer. I plan on taking this long term and feel very comfortable with that idea. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
