In reply to Neurontin for sleep?, posted by Danny on May 8, 2000, at 1:18:31
Hey Danny, Tina here. You're not alone in the IBS department, I've suffered for years. I've always thought it was related to my depression/anxiety but all the meds that I've taken for "nerves" haven't helped with it. My doc just keeps saying relax, it's all in your head. There isn't anything physically wrong with me and that makes it worse I think. If everything that is wrong with me is in my head I'm just wondering if there's any room in there for anything else.
I've often wondered too if the IBS is caused by the depression or if the depression is caused by living with IBS? If you find something that works for you I'd LOVE to hear about it. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Keep in touch--Tina> My pdoc has had me on a million things to replace Ativan, which I am currently addicted to for insomnia. I have severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which causes serious discomfort at night. Sedatives, antipsychotic meds have all either failed or had bad side effects. Is neurontin a possibility? Will he prescribe it? thanks.
