About Me
I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis / Painful Bladder Syndrome on March 15, 2007. The pain started February, 2005 but it took this long to diagnose. I was brought into the OR and the urologist confirmed the diagnosis by way of a hydro in the OR and photos were taken. I still have the severe pain and I am looking for info and support.

Hi I was searching for info on Pamelor and I saw you take it for IC. I also have IC and IBS and my doctor prescribed it to me. I was wondering if you have side effects from it and how much you take for it to help.
Thanks Tori
