You won't FEEL medicated at all with an SSRI, and you are not medicated in the way you might think. Does someone taking insulin feel medicated?... i.e. "drugged"... No.
You will only be yourself, absent the intrusions of broken neurological links that bring on seemingly crazy thoughts and actions, and/or physical symptoms, in this case IBS. Keeping serotonin production managed and linked can make all the difference in the world as to how we function both mentally and physically, absent the serotinin linked bowel problems. 
Even so, stress causes IBS, and IBS causes stress. Therefore we need to keep the stress level down by not inviting more (even with 'no-no' foods) and dealing with that which we did not invite, doing so responsibly and calmly absent taking such into our own bodies.
I wish you the very best as you sort out these things for yourself, as no one else can nor should tell you what the answer is for you personally.
Have a wonderful Turkey Day!
