[Croque]

Has anyone else tried this and still has bad IBS pain in the morning, but OK rest of day? Answers please. I know it's still Xmas and people are busy.

Have tried phenergan but after 2 weeks did not help my IBS at all.

I was prescribed Phenergan for anxiety and night-time/early morning nausea, not necessarily for IBS pain. I believe one can buy it "over the counter" as well so it's not too fierce a medication! I get a dry mouth when I take it. It is used for travel sickness as well.

I get a dry mouth taking it too but can cope with that better than diarrhoea . Shona

I am using it for IBS I get bad pain in the morning which wakes me up about 5 and I take 2 Buscapan. I usually go to the toilet about 9 and have a couple of paracetamol. I have felt better during the day but yest I had spring onions which gave me a lot of pain and today I feel a bit sore. My Dr knows I am taking phen.

What do you think I should do you have worried me by saying it could be dangerous, I have depression/anxiety and take mirtazapine and just one lorazepam lunchtime.

I started this Phergan for ibsD . It is not dangerous but it's also not for everybody . If your Ibs is due to food then it won't work . It's a great help for me and although hasn't cured ibsD I have now cut the tablets down to every other day and so far so good.

It won't work for everybody and I certainly didn't intend to for people to think it was a cure all .

If you had checked my blog you would have read that I did not recommend Phenergan for food related ibs D

Shona - I am sorry if I have offended you in any way I do get IBSD in the morning so thought phen would help. I still get pain first thing in the morning, but had felt better during the day, but yest I had onions and was bad.

Sorry but I think people will be influenced by your success with phen and will want to try it, but certainly won't blame you if it does not suit them. Hope it continues to work for.
