TCA's are good medications for IBS. They are excellent analgesics (I'm talking analgesia for certain kinds of pain that are opiate-level or better). It took very little nortriptyline to relieve the gastointestinal pain- 20 mg- and this took effect immediately. And the pain had been so severe as to itself be the cause for major dysphoria. And like I said- the nausea.... I love taking nortriptyline because it RID me of the constant desire to vomit after putting anything in my stomach! I trust my new GI doc knows what he's doing, because he told me I was on a great drug for IBS. the constipation i still have is unpleasant but it is nothing to the constant pain and nausea.

I have never had sexual side effects from nortriptyline. I'm not sure exactly what derealization is, which means that I've probably never experienced it, so that question answers itself.

Basically- I consider TCA's far superior to their successors, the SSRI's, particularly if you have severe depression. And I think their side effect profile is a lot more tolerable in the long term.
