Elavil cured my IBS. Within a week of being on it. Very cool. Even if it doesn't do anything for the panic attacks I have I'll stay on it just for the IBS.
> It sure did. Often, conditions like that are made worse (caused?) by anxiety. Paxil is often prescribed for it. My IBS came way before the Prozac Era, so was treated with Lo-motil, many things that didn't work. It's really terrible to not be able to leave the house comfortably, yadda yadda. I had it on and off for about ten years...and not at all since taking paxil--about five years now. Can you blame me for wanting to take paxil forever?
> So why was I so anxious? That's similar to saying to someone, Why are you depressed? I could make lots of guesses, even some intelligent ones, but would never be sure of the why of it. And since it's under control, yippee, and I wish the same for anyone else.
