Really interesting post by Julie. She found that an antidepressant really did help her IBS symptoms - it's one of the few things that has - but it made her fatigue worse.
Antidepressants have been found effective in people with chronic pain who are not depressed. What a tangled web the body is!

My second thought was maybe this will work and if so why didn’t we try this three years ago? So, a month ago I started on 25mg of amitriptyline and yes it has helped my stomach pain. I know this because after several weeks on the med I realized that my fatigue levels had greatly increased to the point where I didn’t want to get out of bed till after noon and even then the idea of exercise seemed crazy. So, I stopped taking it for a few days and voila my fatigue levels fell and the stomach pain came back. Go figure.
