Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not completely understood. The symptoms are due to altered patterns of muscle contraction in the digestive system and increased sensitivity to distension and movement of food in digestive system. And also reactive to various triggers: eating, stress, emotional arousal, gastrointestinal infections, or gaseous distension, which can exaggerat the symptoms. Individual with IBS may not have symptoms of anxiety in general, but only in relation to food intake, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. This can cause increased fear and worry about digestive disturbances. Anxiety can lead to avoidance behaviour, which are used to try and limit anxiety in the short run, actually increase and prolong anxiety overall. Medication Medication should always be taken strictly under the supervision of a physician. Self medication can be detrimental for health. Self medication of petrol can lead to dependence and later stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms, which can further lead to deterioration of your symptoms.

Both tablets act by different methods. But taking 2 tablets of anything will have its own effects. Like normaxin increases drowsiness. So plz take tablets in prescribed dosage only. U can skip petril if u have taken 2 tablets of normaxin

Hi, petril is an anti anxiety medication and is generally prescribed for a short duration of time till the acute stage of problem comes down. It can cause drowsiness and hence advised to be taken at night. It has to be reduced and stopped as per the advice of a psychiatrist. Please check with your treating doctor regarding the course for which you are required to take the tablet.
