Zofran to treat nausea/vomiting/diarrhea caused by panic attacks?

February 14th, 2010 by admin | Filed in Treating Anxiety

I have been struggling with panic attacks since I was 5 years old. I have had virtually every treatment under the sun. I am in cognitive behavioral therapy and it is helping, but one thing has not changed – any time I become anxious about something or have a panic attack, my stomach goes on revolt against me. I have severe bouts of intestinal cramping and diarrhea, as well as nausea and vomiting, whenever I have a panic attack. I have tried Xanax but while it does decrease my overall anxiety, it does very little for my distressing GI symptoms.

I was prescribed Levsin to help with the intestinal cramping and diarrhea (doctors believe I have IBS), and I was also given a script for Zofran, an anti-emetic usually used in chemo or radiation patients. They said the anti-nausea effects of the medication and the serotonin-influencing properties of the drug might help with my panic attack related stomach problems

Does anyone have any experience with using Zofran to treat anxiety-related gastrointestinal issues? This has been going on for me for years and I’m really at the end of my rope right about now! Any suggestions you can give are welcome and highly appreciated. Thank you!

    It must be a living hell for you. I hope you have seen a GI doctor to get help with your symptoms. There must be stronger medications especially designed for your problem, an antiemetic. Your problem seems hard to treat because you’ve had it for so long. Your body seems to have gotten use to responding in this way. Please keep us informed about how you are doing. I hope you will find a doctor that will be able to help you. Good Luck.
