Loc: Ewing, NJ, USA (IBS-D, Vegetarian)

I honestly don't know. I stopped trying to take any more meds or see any docs about a year ago, since I was having such nasty reactions. I originally took the amitriptyline in the morning, and it made me really dizzy and groggy and not able to function. Then the doc said take it at night before bed. Still did the same thing all day, so I gave up because I can't live like that as a student. I'm stable enough that I can make it to work and stay there most of the day, just may have to go to the bathroom a lot on certain days, but that's loads better than I was doing in Dec 2003 when I missed 3 weeks of work because I was in such horrible pain! So in my case at least, I'm through with doctors for the time being. I've gotten myself a lot better without meds than they were doing with their meds and their high IF diet recommendations.
