IBS & Medications

I have been dealing with IBS (untreated) since the 8th grade. I finally went to the doctor this year and was diagnosed with IBS. I have been taking Bentyl 200mg for around 3 months now, and it isn't doing much. I still get really sick when I eat anything and it's getting bad again. My meds worked for the first month and since then it's been decreasing in effectiveness. I was wondering if anyone has IBS (diarrhea is what happens to me) and what medications work best in your experiences. I know Zoloft, a really popular one, would not work for my symptoms as it helps constipation. I'm just looking for alternatives to talk to my doctor about.
