I have suffered from IBS for the past year. It has totally taken over my life, I was scared to go out of the house in fear of an attack. I couldnt find anything that helped me, fiber, exercise, peppermint oil, diet changes , ive tried it all, and nothing would help. But last week I started Lexapro and antidepressant/anxiety medication. I have only been on it for a week and my IBS symptoms are almost non existent. I just wanted to let people know that if you guys are still struggling after trying every option, you should go to your doctor and see if antidepressants are right for you. They usually take a few weeks to work, my symptoms improved within days, and I feel like I can live my life again.
