Hi i suffer severe ibs but i can usually keep it under control, but lately the things i do , do not seem to work, i have just be diagnosed with depression anxiety and BDD, so i think this might be making it worse, and the new drugs sertraline, i have been on 7 weeks now, i am in so much pain with my ibs, i double over in pain, really need help, i want my depression to go but if the pills are making my ibs worse then i am not sure i want to take them, does anyone else suffer

    If you are using any anti depressant just stop using them it will recover eventually
