Struggling with IBS flare-ups, need medication suggestions

I need some medication suggestions for IBS issues please Ive been really struggling with my constant flare ups im almost always nauseas, have no appetite, and super fatigued The only thing that has helped was cyproheptadine but its a short term one and stopped working well I really need some medication suggestions that have genuinely helped others with IBS to get an appetite, not be tired all the time from doing nothing, and to eliminate the severe nausea The 2 im thinking of trying so far are Companzine for nausea and then Bentyl which is an IBS medication (which i find odd as ive been told by multiple doctors there is no IBS specific medications)
