I have had IC for a few years and have been in Amitriptyline for about 2 years now. It works well for the IC, with only occasional flare ups that are no where near as bad as they use to be prior to treatment. But I gained 20 lbs and no amount of working out or dieting makes any difference at all. I have never had trouble with my weight before (except when I was on birth control). Its so discouraging. On top of the weight gain my hormones seem off balance on this drug. My period is irregular and I have frequent mood swings. Is there a drug for IC that will not cause weight gain? Does the Elmiron cause this as well?
Thanks all...going to my doc tomorrow to try to change meds
