Are there any safe, long-term alternative medications that work as well as Libotryp DS did for my anxiety, trouble sleeping, throwing up in the morning, and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, now that my doctor has switched me to Tryptomer 25mg which is not working as well?
I understand how frustrating it is to deal with anxiety, sleep issues, and stomach distress, especially when your treatment changes. Libotryp DS contains amitriptyline and chlordiazepoxide, which is why it helped so well, but the sedative component is not safe for long-term use. Tryptomer contains only amitriptyline. For safe, long-term management, generic selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like escitalopram can effectively treat both anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome without dependency risks. I gently encourage you to discuss these daily, long-term options with your doctor to safely bring you the relief you deserve.
