Glad to hear that they help, that brings me some comfort.
I haven't had to use them yet, I just picked them up today... and am hoping I won't have to for a very long time if ever lol. My Uro also asked me not to take them every day if I can help it because they do have Valium in them lol. I'm sure she's worried about dependancy.
I use the valium suppositories and they have helped me a good bit. They help to keep my pelvic muscles from getting too tight and spasm. I do find that I need to use them continuously to keep the effect going. It is hard to stop spasms once they have started, better to stay ahead of them.
I am in the middle of going off my Elavil as it has been causing some uncomfortable side effects for some reason after 11 years...
I am not sure how bad my Ic is going to get, but I do know that when I am very stressed out my pain gets pretty darn bad, so my Uro is setting me up with a few things just in case, as well as for when I do have pain.
I am going to also try Vistaril here soon, if need be. I'm keeping my fingers crossed tapering off my Elavil will be an easy thing lol.
Hi, Shamay ~
I used Valium suppositories (Cyclo/diaz/lido, 10/5/62.5 mg) when I was having extremely painful symptoms but I was also on other treatments....instillations, pyridium, PT for PFD along with a couple surgeries so it's really difficult to determine how effective the valium alone was. I did see considerable improvement with this combo so it's probably a little of everything that helped and I have since stopped the instills, PT and valium.
What kind of pain are you experiencing? I'm terribly sorry you're having such a difficult time.
