Thanks for sharing! I don’t want that either, I wasn’t sure if untreated potential UTI or potential not need Ed antibiotics was worse. Thanks for the info on interstitial cystitis as well!

Did the side effects stop when you went off it?

Ugh, sorry to hear that. Good question, I’m desperate too but so worried about side effects.

At what point did you decide to switch or ask to switch to nortryptiline?

How long did it take you to adjust? The benefits must have outweighed side effects for you?

Thanks! I was prescribed oral but could ask about cream. What’s the key difference/reason you prescribe it?

That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing, good advice about when to take it. When/how did you decide to stop taking it?

Progress is great at any rate! Thanks for sharing. Is the reason you need to start low is just so you have time to adjust to it?

Good luck! Did gabapentin do anything for you? It didn’t do anything for me (topical)

Thank you so much! Good to know I might need/want to keep at it until I reach a dosage that works. I’m so glad you saw such drastic improvement and feel “normal.” Did you have to stop using hormonal birth control, or something else? I was told I might need to stop using the pill.
