If you think you may have IBS/IPS, Cymbalta is not a treatment for it. The antidepressants prescribed for IBS are in the tricyclic class, like Elavil, but not in the dose used for depression. It is a lower dose. It does not actually change your gut, but your brain's awareness of what goes on in there. So, it's possible a tricyclic would help your symptoms.

Align may be a good choice for you, as it has been studied for IBS. It can take months for it to be fully effective though.
