Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi Vicki just saw your post from last week. I have the irritable bladder but not the IBS, though my husband has that one. I took Detrol LA for a bit, but now take Ditropan XL and it works perfectly. I saw a urologist and he has taken excellent care of me since then. I have no pain and no racing to the bathroom or planning my day around visits to the bathroom. Thoough I have to take Lasix which aggracates in just that way, but not like it would without my med. Write bacl and ask me anything you need to know aboit either problem.

The only thing my doctor has been willing to give me is Elavil (antidepressant) before bed. It does help me sleep, but one of the side effects is increased appetite and Im already a large person, so this isnt working well for me. What other antidepressants are prescribed for this condition. I really dont take anything for pain except advil. One person mentioned irritable bladder........I have irritable bowel syndrome, and lately have noticed discomfort in the bladder. Tests always show no infection. Could someone with this problem let me know the symptoms of irritable bladder. I have a feeling this group is going to be a big help to me and I thank you all for this. Vicki W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
