> In that case, if your doctor agrees, you can see how you feel when you reduce, say to 10mg amitriptyline. If you have increased IC symptoms, you might decide that it was helping a bit. If not, you could gradually stop and try something else. You might feel less tired on a lower dose or after stopping.That's a really good idea - I'll talk with my Uro about it.
>> Having tried other antihistamines already, cetirizine probably doesn't have the highest chance of helping. On the other hand, it could help - and it's a very low risk choice which is easy to obtain. Cetirizine is a stronger antihistamine than loratadine (which isn't always appreciated).
Have bought the Cetirizone (Zyrtec) today to trial - figure I may as well try the OTC stuff first. Will give it a month.
> Gabapentin is the choice which is completely different to anything you're on. Is this something your urologist would try, or probably not?
>I think Gabapentin is def a possibility. I've made a spreadsheet of all the possible choices that I'm going to take to my Uro next month. :)
Thank you for your advice! I hope the 'beast from the east' isn't causing too much chaos for you over there in the UK. My brother lives in London and he keeps sending me pics of all the snow there.
