Luv my kitties!
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 experience with this at all...but have you called your doc's office? YOW.

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.

Talked to the Dr's assistant. She will discuss with him and call me tomorrow morning. Might just need a different dosage. I am not to take the pill tonight. I'm glad she said that because I was thinking it would be really hard to swallow it tonight.

I was on it for migraines and neuropathic nerve pain years ago and I have to say it worked wonders. But after a few months on it I felt always felt groggy and started gaining too much weight . My mouth was always dry, something I hated and all my food tasted like metal so my doc took me off, he didn't like the side effects. They have a lot of newer drugs easier on the system now. Have you tried a simple benzo for your IBS? I know quite a few people that take them and they find it really helps.

I have a prescription for 25mg Amitryptyline. I have the Rx because of my migraines and the depression that goes with having daily migraines for 2+ years. (Going on 3 years now... *sigh*)
The pills are helpful but leave me SO tired.
The first time I took it, I slept for 3 days... literally only getting up to use the facilities and going back to bed! They don't have that same powerful effect anymore though!

Well, I didn't take the pill last night. No cramping or throwing up this morning. We will see what the assistant has to say later this morning.
