Is anyone taking zoloft for ibs? I know I have posted several messages lately, but I haven't gotten any responses.
I don't know what to do. Nortryptolene had been working for pain of pressure in rectum, pain on buttocks when sitting, and muscle spasms in tailbone area. I went to see my primary care and talked to her about changing my med. She prescribed Zoloft, but was hesitant, because Mayo had prescribed Nortryptolene.
I don't know if all this is the ibs or the pelvic floor dysfunction. I was so happy when I started having bms on my own with the acacia. I don't know if I should try to continue increasing or to decrease back to the dosage when I started having bms. I am constantly in pain, feel weak, losing weight (down to 105 lbs), starting to get anxiety attacks, depressed, and when the paing is extremely bad after enemas, I wish I were dead instead. (not thinking of suicide or anything like that. The pain is so unbearable). I just start praying. Sorry, I was just venting.
Before surgery I had gotten the ibs and pelvic floor dysfunction under control with Heather's diet and Benefiber. I recently switched to Acacia.
Sorry I got off the subject on Zoloft. Have not started Zoloft yet, don't know if I should wait until after I talk to Physician at Mayo. Going back to Mayo next week for more physical therapy and now I am supposed to see a physician for pain. This is a living nightmare. I constantly cry and I don't want to worry my kids.
If there aren't any suggestions. Will any of you please say a prayer for me? Thanks. I will stop now. I am about to start crying. Don't want meds. they just make me worse.
