After a couple of months taking the diet pill/amphetamine Phentermine, I had to stop. It gave me a terrible case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Went to my regular doctor and she suggested taking an AD for the IBS. Since zoloft and celexa have put weight on me in the past, she suggested Effexor.
It's strange though, I'm taking Wellbutrin 100 SR along with only 37.5 of Effexor. For some reason, that tiny dose of Effexor takes the mean and nastiness out of the Wellbutrin. And my tummy and intestines are calm.

I would rather just have IBS.
Better yet, I would rather have a mild opiate for the diarrhoea.

I'm happy for you that your intestines are better. That kind of pain can be miserable. I think some day science may discover why this happens. I think ibs is one of those diseases that is called nerves until they find out what causes it then say "Whoops" sorry we didn't take you seriously. Well good luck for you, I'm glad something worked

So is mine.
My guess at this point is that you would suggest that someone continue to suffer with IBS rather than take Effexor. Perhaps you would prefer to amplify your statements?

A great debate is about to happen. Fondly, Phillipa

While I stay in my room I have this candle burning, the scent is brown sugar. I can't recognize the smell until I leave the room for a while and then come back later.

I don't see much in the way of debate.

SLS, if you have had any experiences with benzodiazepines may you please give me your thoughts on the theory I have. I think I might be on to something, but then again maybe not.
This is the end of the thread.
