Ok, so I’ve been trying new medications to get my IBS under control, preferably before my wedding in September. My original primary symptoms were moderate-severe abdominal pain, bloating, and nausea.

First, I tried amitrityline. Worked great and relieved me of my nausea and pain, but it also caused me to have an overly fast heartbeat and made me more anxious.

Now, I’m on sertraline. It really hasn’t helped at all with anything, and on top of that I’m now having problems with having diarrhea AND constipation at the same time (didn’t even know that was a thing until recently).

Before I switch to another medication, any tips on how to help the diarrhea/constipation thing?
