Colonoscopy Results - SIDE EFFECTS NOT GOOD

[Queen of Poop]

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.

Waiting to hear what their thoughts are.
I hope you feel better and don't cramp or vomit.

Doctor wants me to try taking just half a pill and see what happens. I advised that with no pill last night I am seemingly ok as far as the cramping, etc. goes. I will try half a pill tonight and wait and see.
