I have been on Elmiron for 2 months now at 200mg 2x a day. I have gained weight, 6 pounds but I am eating less and now that it is spring I have been able to get out and walk a liitle. Besides IC I also have severe arthritis in both knees and my back. I don't walk in winter because I am so afraid of falling. I use a cane when I walk outside the house.
Anyway, my exercise has increasd a little and I am eating less but I have gained 6 pounds since being on the Elmiron.
Has anyone else gained weight from being on Elmiron? Do you know if it can cause weight gain? I am already way over weight. The last thing I need is to add more weight for these poor knees to carry.
So far I have not seen any improvement from the Elmiron either but thank God my hair is not falling out!
