(rifaximin) - Short term antibiotic.- Antispasmodics - Prescribed for abdominal pain and cramping. I CURRENTLY TAKE LEVSIN (hyoscyamine), AS NEEDED.- Antidepressants- Tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may work to reduce symptoms of IBS-D through their action on neurotransmitters in the intestines. I CURRENTLY TAKE WELLBUTRIN (bupropion) TWICE DAILY AND PAXIL (paroxetine) ONCE DAILY.- Bile Acid Binders - Testing for BAM is extremely limited in the United States. According to the ACG, there is not enough information yet to recommend these medications to everyone with IBS-D.- VIBERZI (eluxadoline) - Reduces episodes of diarrhea and abdominal pain in IBS-D. It works on opioid receptors within your digestive system to regulate the speed of intestinal contractions, fluid secretion, and pain sensations. I WAS INITIALLY PRESCRIBED THIS MEDICATION FROM MY PCP IN PITTSBURGH, PA., A FEW YEARS AGO, AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT UP UNTIL RECENTLY, DUE TO LACK OF APPROVAL.IN ADDITION, I TAKE CYCLOBENZAPRINE, AS NEEDED FOR EXTREME ABDOMINAL PAIN.***************************BENEFITS OF VIBERZI:- VIBERZI allows me more comfort and confidence when going out, with fewer accidents, less abdominal pain and fewer trips to the bathroom. I'm more hydrated without constant diarrhea. In short, it helps to keep me more regulated. My quality of life does not suffer as much when taking this medication.- On the days when there is additional stress in my life, then along with the VIBERZI, I take the Hyoscyamine and/or the Cyclobenzaprine, for more immediate relief.The bottom line….VIBERZI truly helps my Irritable Bowel. Desired outcome: I AM
