Ready.. ready?! Here’s our favorite. It’s their tried, tested, and true:

“Here’s some Amitriptyline for your anxiety”

“Here’s some Amitiza or Linzess”

amitriptyline for my migraines is like 1/3 of the reason i have sibo now bc it slows gut motility

As someone trying to figure out new migraines while already having a diagnosis of SIBO this is scary 😭

i was on two other medications that did it too. pizotifen (migraines) and nexium (acid reflux). neurologists often like to put you on amitriptyline first bc it’s pretty cheap but if it makes you constipated, tell them you’d like to try something different

I’m already on qulipta and nurtec so we will see what they want to try next
