Hello Ladies

 

Ive been told I will need to take prescription drugs to calm down my back pain, Boaz has agreed to this as he says that we will have to work a long side them. Currently I am on elavil (amytripaltine) and it is flaring my IC symptoms considerably at a dose of only 20mg so I think I will have to stop it. Other suggestions are cymbalta or gabapentin/pregabilin. I do not want to take these drugs but my back is so bad that even Boaz agrees something must be done. Has anyone had experience of taking these kind of medications with IC? Did you tolerate some and not others? I am very sensitive so this is a difficult descition.

Sorry Katie. I have not had to take any drugs while in treatment but I know there are some that have. Did you research some of the past blogs by chance? When I started treatment I was a bit obsessed with reading all the old blogs just to get an idea of everything. I found some to be scary but a great many of them gave me comfort. Hope it helps. Best wishes on your decision. Hugs.
