IBS and Effexor

by May1954, Aug 19, 2008 02:30PM

I have been having IBS symptoms and soon will see a gastrologist about the problem. I've always had some stomach problems in the past but they have gotten much worse over the past year. I have also been taking Effexor for the past year and wonder if this could be part of the cause. Has anyone experienced IBS with effexor?

I have never tried Effexor but did have the same problem with Celexa. I have to give you credit, I only lasted one or two weeks on Celexa because the IBS was so bad. I wish you luck with the gastroenterologist. If you want to discuss diet regarding the IBS, feel free to pm me.
