Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

It's been four nights of about 4-5 hours sleep so far -- I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life. The other problem is that the lack of sleep is aggrivating the IBS, so although the pain has somewhat subsided from the medication, the D hasn't.

I started out taking in at night, but switched to the morning after the first night went the way it did. So far it hasn't made a difference with regards to sleep though. Made a mistake and took an antihistamine last night while trying to get to sleep around 3am. Ended up with pretty bad nausea and D around 4:30. Makes for fun times...

I'm going to talk to my doctor first thing tomorrow to ensure that the side effects aren't out of the ordinary. I keep getting conflicting advice from friends/family - some tell me to half the dose, others to keep going and others just to stop. The bigger problem is that I'm going to be moving to Canada in three weeks, so there are a whole pile of things I'm on which I'm falling behind because this is going on. I'm hoping that I'll find some resolution tomorrow so that I can get back on track.
