hi I take buscopan when I get pain from

Ibs symptoms! Usually I take the prescribed dosage and it seems to work for me ! I have been a long suffering ibs patient and when I get flare ups it’s can last for a good while !! The doc prescribed amotriptillan for me and they really help !

Amitriptyline is mainly used for depression and it can ease anxiety which helps with IBS symptoms, it can be addictive though.

it’s an old tricyclic. It’s not used for depression much anymore. But for pain. Fibromyalgia. Migraine. It can help if anxiety Is a trigger. Can calm the gut brain. But the side effects are a pain. So Nortriptyline better.

There is no pain relief in amy. But it calms the brain. Where all pain begins.

Hi, I tried Buscopan in the past but it didn't help and seemed to affect my vision. Probiotics seem to help.
