I'm wondering if anyone has tried Lexapro (Escitalopram) for their IBS? I'm actually taking for anxiety/depression, but was on a website that stated that doctors have prescribed Lexapro for IBS sufferers in the past. I've lived with IBS-C all my life and have noticed a decrease in symptoms in the three short weeks I've been taking it. Admittedly, I've had closer to diarrhea but - truthfully - that's a big improvement over the norm. Just wondering if anyone has attempted this long term and what the outcome has been. Thank you!
i have indeed had huge success with lexapro in the past for ibs but i was so dumb to not use them daily as perscribed and constantly skiped doses then I developed a bad headache so I had to stop them . I wish I could use them again cus those made me feel much better and literally all fatigue, nausea and anxiety was gone.
Hi, did you have any side effects?
