    Hydroxyzine & Elavil

    So as a newbie here can some of you tell me what these common drugs do for your IC? I'm only on vesicare so far which has stopped the bladder spasms.
    I am very concerned about additional dryness that I'm afraid these drugs will cause as I have chronic dry eye syndrome to boot. The vesicare is drying enough as is!
    Thanks for your input.

    I have used these both and yes unfortunately they can cause dry mouth and weight gain. elavil also can cause urinary retention.
    Diagnosed with IC October 2009- through bladder biopsy (no glomerations or hunners ulcers found, just irritation)

    I have moderate-severe IC

    Currently stopped taking all medications due to pregnancy

      Does anyone get extra thirsty when you have a flare?
