Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I was having sever anixety and depression from IBS lately. I was really trying to overcome it on my own but it wasn't working. I was really getting bothered and stressed out and would only leave the house to go to work. That was getting difficult as well. So I decided to talk to my doc about it. I was a mess all day. I could hardly eat and couldn't concentrat. I thought I was seeing my regular doc but they scheduled me with the female doc. This was fine with me. However, she made me feel kind of bad. I think I was just really stressed out and needed someone to really listen to what was going on with me. I was balling. She said she had never seen IBS affect someone like this. That made me more upset. I'm sorry that recent events make me feel this way but I can't help it. She ended up giving me Lexapro. I took my first one when I got home and it already is making me feel funny. Maybe this is because I was upset most of the day. Anyway, she said most of her patients that take it say the get a little C. So I am hoping it will in the end help my IBS. I just hope I can stay awake for a couple weeks until it kicks in! I'm getting drowsy!!
