Bam,
I don't take any meds for IC except for Percocet when I'm in pain. My reason is because when I was first diagnosed 13 years ago my doctor had me try every med possible. I don't like the way I react to medications, I didn't like feeling sleepy all the time, the dry mouth, etc. BUT most of all, nothing seemed to help me with my symptoms anyway. I'm sure maybe if they would have helped me then I would have put up with all the side effects, but to me, the side effects weren't worth it, because they didn't seem to be helping me anyway. So I just take percocet when I'm in pain, and maybe some baking soda with water if I need it, but that's about it. I did all the instills and everything also, and that didn't seem to help me either. Am I making any sense? That's why I don't take any meds either. I try to just stick to the diet, that seems to help the most.
Hope that helped,
Kari
