Dianne,
I was also diagnosed as IBS.For some time I had massive diarrhea. I am now On
Robinul Forte which has helped the spasms. I take Surfax for stool softener
cause now it is hard because I take so many pain pills. I take Darvocet all
day with Effexor and Mepergan for in tense pain it has Phenergan so it stops
the nausea. But I have other problems from the Effexor It like fighting a
loosing battle.. Well Please don't drink the Weed Killer It won't solve
anything We need to find some more positive answers. You are not alone. Talk
and we will answer all we can. WE all go through our own living hell and wish
someone would just take it away but it gets better then it all comes back and
we live through it again. Good Luck ,Try to find you a good Pain management
doc in your area to give you the right meds to help ease the pain and you
will be able to function better. And as for the side effects the meds take
some time for you to get used to but be patient and your body will adjust.
Love and Best Wishes
Lillian
