It is hard to say. Doctors can and do prescribe medicine designed for one symptom to control another. Some anti-depressants have a direct impact on the bowells. I took some and got extremely constipated. On the other hand maybe IBS is a side effect of depression. For specific drug questions a good pharmacists is your best resource. You can also ask a pharmacist for a "package insert," which he should gladly provide. These are quite long and wordy but I learned how to scan through them to glean information I needed

Have you had any tests to rule out other conditions. I have IBS and have taken pamelor...It is for stomach spasms.
i have ibs, i dont care what anyone says you take depression meds for ibs, it doesnt do anything for ibs. if i was you i wouls go to a different doc. you r takng to much meds, well thats what i think anyways.
i have IBS and am lactose intolerant and i dont take anything so at least you have something to help you deal!
If you will give specific symptoms perhaps I can supply a few suggestions.. location of pain, how often, etc. Can IM or email me.
Peppermint Plus (by Enzymatic Therapy) is an OTC remedy that often gives dramatic relief to people who suffer from your condition. The reference given below is also full of good info and advice for IBS sufferers.
Good luck!
