ADHD medications for IBS-D?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried ADHD medications to improve IBS-D? Before I started imodium and lomotil, a doctor had me try Strattera. It made my IBS a little better, but I didn't like the other side effects. What about all the other ADHD medications? Do they improve IBS or make it worse?

I tried, and it worked out for me. However, I don't recommend you to start taking them without being monitored by a doctor.

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with IBS-D.
Regarding ADHD medications, I'm not sure if they would help with IBS-D, but it's worth talking to your doctor about it.

They may have more information on this topic and can give you some guidance.
Also, have you heard of Cialis? It's a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction and can also help with symptoms of an enlarged prostate. While it's not specifically for IBS-D, some people have found it to be helpful for their symptoms. Plus, I heard there's a Cialis coupon available that could help with the cost.

I took them in the past before developing IBS for a different reason and they made me gain so much weight in just 6 months that I had to quit it.
