> Well I dont feel any different accept that my bladder has not stopped hurting. Not sure if its the medicine aggervating it or if it is IC. I go on 60mg tomorrow. Oh just so you all know nothing really dry, no rashes, actually really nothing but my bladder problem. Will keep updating.

Hi Tia,
I was interested to see that you were at such a high dose already. Do you feel that your bladder hurts more than it did before you began the medicine? I think you should definitely mention this to your doctor. I must mention that I know two women who have interstitial cystitis and, oddly enough, they were prescribed highly anticholinergic medicines for the purpose of causing urinary retention!! They were given Elavil, which is an old-fashioned antidepressant that is notorious for causing urinary retention. This was done intentionally, to counteract the sense of urgency they had from the IC. I was always stunned by this, but apparently this is/was common practice for treating IC.I hope you feel better soon.
