Ok, so maybe I jumped the gun a little bit but I really thought the Elavil was gonna help me. It seemed like it did for the first month or so and within the last week I've had 3 IBS attacks. 1 of which was severe cramping. I didn't change my eating habits at all. I continued to eat what I had in the past. I put on some weight which was good but now I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it again if I start having the attacks again! Ughhhhh....can anyone tell me that's had experience with Elavil if I need to be taking it for months or so for it to REALLY work. Am I taking it for nothing? I have gotten some C with it, which believe me, is welcoming when you are D! Nothing really to complain about being on it. It does help me sleep but I really never had a problem sleeping in the past. I'm really not having any other side effects. I'm on 20mg a day at night and I'm afraid to "up" the mgs if doctor suggests it cause I don't #1 want to be completely C nor do I want the other side effects that can be caused with higher doses.
I'm so frustrated right now! Please someone tell me not to give up and give the Elavil a few more months!!!!!
