Mine stopped after a few days I think. I didn't really keep track. I noticed new growth in about 2-3 weeks

I can't remember from your other posts - has your doctor looked at other possible causes for your hair loss? Sorry you are still losing hair.

Diagnosed August 2001

Current IC meds: Elmiron (since 2001), Levaquin (one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs), Effexor (for depression & anxiety)

Past IC meds: Amitriptyline (Elavil), Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), Detrol LA, Lexapro (for depression & anxiety, but also helped my IC) (They all helped, but I was able to discontinue them.)

I've been virtually symptom free and able to eat & drink whatever I'd like for about 8 years now.
