Hi All,
I was just diagnosed with IC last week and was prescribed Elmiron (don't want to take it,), Elavil 25 MG, Sanctura twice a day and Atarax twice a day.
In place of the Elmiron, I am taking Cystoprotek.
Now the problem, my pulse is racing and my blood pressure is up. I have been switched to Enablex in place of the Sanctura but so far it hasn't helped with my blood pressure and my rapid pulse. Should mention this is my first day with the Enablex. I have noticed that in the evening my pulse and blood pressure return to a more normal rate. Of course, it is then time for Elavil and Atarax. I take the Enablex in the morning with my first dose of Atarax.
When I notified the urologist, he stated that none of the drugs he prescribed would cause high blood pressure and a racing pulse. I spoke to my PCP and he is the one who changed me to Enablex in place of Sanctura. The urologist also never told me a thing about IC.....just handed me the prescriptions after the cyscopathy and walked away. I am seeing another urologist in Pittsburgh the end of May. Just don't have a good feeling about the one who diagnosed the IC. If it weren't for sites like this, I would still be wondering the IC is.
Just wondering if any of you have been prescribed any of the above drugs and had a similar reaction.
Thanks,
Fran
