Hi. I started taking Elavil a few days ago for IBS-D. I have had bad D since I started taking it. It has been regular D, not IBS D (if that makes any sense). I guess I mean I have D with no cramping. Has anyone else had this side effect from Elavil? If so, does it subside after you take it for awhile? Thank you.beloved2

I haven't taken Elavil but with other medicines like Levbid I get the same problem. What I find is that it slows everything down but then the gas is worse which in turn causes diarrhea for me. I found that if I eat no foods that cause major gas I do better.

Beloved2, d can be a side effect for the first couple weeks sometimes due to the way these meds work. If it persists, I would talk to your doctor. http://health.yahoo.com/health/pdr_drugs/0169/1.html
