I have been taking 25 mg of amitriptyline for IBS and migraine prevetion for 20 years. I have both IBS and GERD. My GI dr wants me to wean off of Amitriptyline. He has put me on Prozac.I am also taking Dexilant. My IBS symptoms get worse whenever I reduce the Amitriptyline. Will this get better?
How should you wean off of 25 Mg of amitriptyline when IBS symptoms worsen?

maybe its due to thinking if this does not work then other medications may need to be tried, since I am allergic to amitriptyline they had to take me off within days of starting therapy but even though it is an older drug it is good and works for some people take care
