I couldn't handle it because it wired me up too much, but to be fair I have weird interactions with a lot of medications.

My daughter has been on it quite a few years & has done well, she's on a low dose.

All you can do is try it.

I just started talking Wellbutrin for my ADHD and it definitely takes some of the edge off. It’s not dramatic or anything but it slows things down a little and it’s not so overwhelming.

I don’t think it does anything to or for my IBD.

I've been on low dose prozac a few months, which we started to try to help my fatigue issues. It hasn't had any effect on my fatigue or energy levels (probably because i don't sleep enough) but it has overall helped with keeping me calm and grounded in stressful situations. It's certainly not a miracle drug and in the beginning the nausea was terrible. My gastroenterologist said they sometimes prescribe it for patients in remission who still have symptoms like abdominal pain and I can confirm it has helped me in that regard.

Poopy,,,I took a low dose of Clonazepam at several different times, for about two months at the time. It GREATLY reduced my anxiety and also helped calm my urgency issues...somewhat. Since I began Rinvoq...no longer have the anxiety.
