Accepted Answer

: Your medication needs to be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Dr. please see another for a 2nd opinion. Medication alone may not be enough. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help. A complete physical exam would show if your symptoms are due to a physical illness. You may need a sleep study prescribed by a Dr.

Question 5

what medications treat crohn's disease?

Accepted Answer

Immunosuppressives: Big word but the goal of therapy in crohn's disease is to decrease the inflammation in the lining of the bowel.  The two familes of medications used are anti-inflammatory medications - thick Motrin for the gut and immunosuppressive medications.  

Asa compounds such as pentasa, (mesalamine) steroids and medications such as 6-mercaptopurine and remicaide are all used based on how severe your symptoms are.

Question 6

which crohn's disease medication is best?

Accepted Answer

What works for you!: There are many medications for crohn's disease because none of them work for everyone and they all have side effects.  Each patient is matched with the medication most likely to work with the least side effects.  Medications often need to be changed.  Steroids are often used to gain initial control but then removed when longer acting drugs with fewer side effects can take over.
