"Before this medicine, my IBS was crippling. I could not eat without being in pain and could not sleep. I was up every night sick for 2 months straight. After my GI doctor gave me this medication, my symptoms went away after about 3 weeks. Now I could not imagine my life without it! (2 years now)"

"This drug, nortriptyline, made me feel nothing. I didn't care about nothing much. It caused my boyfriend to leave, and I didn't care at the time. Giving this drug to people with IBS is crazy. I would never again take anything like that. Before I realized it, it ruined my love life."

"This does not help me at all. I have been on sleep meds for many years, and my doctor took me off my main sleep med, and now I have a hard time sleeping. To me, this is totally worthless!"

"I found this has helped almost from the start. I'd had no treatment for my IBS until my new GP recommended 10mg at night. Mind you, she also said it's useless as an antidepressant lol"
