Amitriptyline: A safe, effective, well-tolerated option for the management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Low-dose amitriptyline has been shown to help people with IBS. In the ATLANTIS trial, over 460 people with persistent IBS symptoms took either amitriptyline or a placebo tablet for IBS over 6 months and Amitriptyline was better than placebo. People taking amitriptyline reported improvements in their IBS symptoms, found the treatment acceptable and experienced few and manageable side-effects. They were able to adjust the dose to fit their changing IBS symptoms without repeated visits to their doctor. Talk to your doctor about amitriptyline for IBS.”
