    May i ask why it was prescribed for IBS, this is news to me, it is often prescribed for fibromyalgia, in low doses and of course depression but i have never heard of it for IBS, what is it supposed to achieve, did the doctor explain that to you, i am very curious, being a sufferer myself, i just cannot figure out the necessity for it, hope you don't mind me asking.

    Carole go to Google and enter "amitriptyline IBS" , and I think you will get a ton
    of information on why her doctor prescribed amitriptyline.

    cheers will do thanks, funny it was never ever mentioned to me by my doctors, perhaps they prescribed it for my fibro, and as IBS goes hand in hand with it, never told me it was to help that as well,you learn something new every day don't you?

    Apparently the nerves in your brain are the same as the ones in your intestines. The amitriptyline is supposed to help soothe the nerves in the intestines, etc. that should settle down the IBS. At least that's how he explained it to me.

    Ok. The amitriptyline is working and making my IBS issues way better. BUT a new problem has cropped up. After a BM, inside of about 30 seconds, I get horrible cramps, so bad that they have actually made me throw up, they last about 30 minutes.

    Anyone had this happen??

    No. This is what I have happen BEFORE - not after!

    My scope is in 2 weeks. Maybe I'll get answers then.........

    Hope your doc can shed some light on this for you.
