    Elmiron Side effects?

    Hi Everyone,
    I started taking Elmiron last Friday. Everything went fine until Monday afternoon. Suddenly, without warning I started getting cold sweats and became very ill. I had the most awful stomach pains and throwing up. Then the other end started (if you know what I mean). By Tuesday evening, I was fine, so I took another pill. Well, within an hour it all started all over again. I go so sick that I didn't even produce any urine for over 24 hours. My bladder was actually very calm and pain free thankfully. I'm thinking that I can't tolerate Elmiron (okay, so that might be understating it a bit). Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    You might want to try dumping the contents of the capsule into water and taking it that way. It's not unusual to have problems with the capsule itself. I do think you should talk with your doctor about it first.

      I hope those symptoms have subsided and you find out whether you are able to take the elmiron or not.
      I know it helped me for years.
      Take care!
      Tons of support,
