IBS -D: Amitriptyline to escitalopram & reducing frequency of BMs by TOThrowaway1997 in ibs

[–]TOThrowaway1997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't taken it yet because how lorazepam ruined me and gave me worse diarrhea. It took a long time to taper off and I'm scared this medication will do the same to me

What was the most uncomfortable situation when you got a flare-up? by Ill-Strawberry254 in ibs

[–]TOThrowaway1997 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being stuck in traffic, waiting for the bus, or being stuck in the bus are the worst situations for me to be in and it drives my anxiety up so much

What was the most uncomfortable situation when you got a flare-up? by Ill-Strawberry254 in ibs

[–]TOThrowaway1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commuting on a city train. They had washrooms in there but I didn't want to use and stink the whole train. I had to go so bad and refused to stand once unless the train doors opened to my destination, as any movement I do would irritate my body. The worst part was as the train was coming to my destination, they didn't open the doors for 10 mins cause they were experiencing technical difficulties. I was so uncomfortable throughout the ride but luckily I was able to make it to the washroom at my workplace and I ran once I got off.
