Re: Anti-Depressants       07/18/06 11:42 AM Edit Reply Quote nuggs1968 Reged: 06/26/06 Posts: 181 Hello Sara... I know how you feel. I've been there....being afraid to eat anything for fear of what it will cause my stomach to do. I also went into depression over my IBS and the loss of my grandmother. I have been on Zoloft and Effexor in the past. Have been completely off any anti-depressant since just before Memorial Day. I went off because I didn't like the side effects and the withdrawal was bad for me. Some people don't have as bad of a time with it as I did...so don't let that scare you if you want to try anti-depressants. They do work wonders for IBS. One great side effect for me since I am IBS-D was that it caused constipation! Yippee....I no longer had to fear food and make sure I knew where every bathroom in town was. I'm now taking regular acupuncture treatments and a Chinese herbal tincture. It's too early in the treatment to notice any drastic improvement, but I have noticed mild changes. Good luck to you! {{{hugs}}} Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
