I'm new here, but I've been dealing with IBS-D for about 10 years and I was also on the 10mg of Elavil but like the other person was saying, I still had frequent visits to the bathroom in the mornings with the chills AND nausea and everything in between. This morning, I actually had a really bad attack, too and now I'm taking Remeron 15mg AND Levsin, which is still not helping my IBS very much but at least I can sleep through the night. I don't feel really bad until I wake up. I actually just had to quit my real estate appraisal job because all of the driving was making me very ill. I cannot even leave my house anymore because I will have to go to the bathroom many times before I even leave the house and then I get nauseated on the road (from the anxiety, probably)!!! I keep pulling over feeling I'm going to throw up and then I feel like I have to go to the bathroom AGAIN!!! I'm really tired of it and I, too, like the rest of you cannot believe that I can survive such horrible attacks. You guys are DEFINITELY not alone and it comforts me, in away, to know that I'm not the only one that goes through this. I wish they would find a cure for all of us, too!! I just keep praying about it. Maybe I'm meant to stay at home for some reason......I would like to have kids, but I cannot even eat for myself, let alone try to eat for 2!! I don't know if I will ever be able to have children because of this HORRIBLE condition and I'm already 30. God Bless! Michelle
