Sarah,

Wellbutrin, (bupropion), generally has fewer side effects than most other antidepressants, (and a lower risk of triggering MC), but as you know, that doesn't mean that you would/will be able to find a dose that will work well for you.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Feeling a little better ; )

I've been off of the cymbalta, buspar, ultram and flexaril for 10 days now and just took my last dose of Zyvox this morning. Even though I'm still having diarrhea, bloating and low grade temps, my abdominal pain has improved-which makes me way more optimistic about things. My pain Dr. is starting me on Elavil and I'm going to stay off the Cymbalta. I get into the Cleveland Clinic in a month to see a real doctor (one that didn't get his license from a cracker jack box, Lol.)

It sounds as though you're making good progress, and I hope that trend continues.
