Can it be IBS?

Hello, I have been experiencing severe upper right quadrant pain for about 3 months now. The attacks are random, but they only happen at night. My attacks usually start around 11 at night and last until 4 or 5 in the morning. I can feel the pain radiating from my upper right quadrant all the way to by back. On a scale from 1 to 10, my pain is an 8. Tylenol 3 does nothing for me.  I have gone to the ER once because of the severity of the pain.  Ive been seeing a gastroenterologist, but he hasn’t been able to pin point anything out. I’ve done several ultra sounds and a CT scan, but everything comes out fine. Today he said I have IBS and he is prescribing me a mild antidepressant. I honestly don’t believe in my doctor anymore. Can anyone help me please.
