Hello, I am 37yo and suffering from IBS for 5 years. I did all the tests you can possibly imagine...but nothing. The gastrologists doctors (2 of them) told me to try Nortylin/Nortriptyline, saying it should help. Anyone tried it ? any results ? I am a bit reluctant to that till now...Thanks a lot
My advice would be to take both specialists advice. Give it a try and see if it works for you xxx
read any disclosures, understand the use, and discuss your concern with pharmacist/chemist. you are prudent to evaluate this type of
medication before taking.
Give the medication a go and see if it suits you. If not, there are other things you can try. Everyone is different with IBS; it's a strange condition.
I know you posted this 3 months ago but I'll tell you my experience anyways. I have been diagnosed with Gastritis by one doctor and dyspepsia by two GI doctors. Recently the GI prescribed 10mg of nortriptyline for stomach pain. For two weeks I felt 100% but started having side effects so I quit taking it cold turkey 1 week ago. I am disappointed because it did help but it came with a price.. one of the symptoms I had was itching, which is just now starting to go away..
