which meant I had to return to my urologist....He gave me elmiron and vesicare to treat the IC....the Elmiron never helped my pain and, the Vesicare took my blood pressure from 113/72 pulse 68 to 153/103 pulse 122...I contacted my urologist and, he stated...that's not true ... neither of these meds would cause your blood pressure to go up...well, I called him back four days later...
I was put on Vesicare 5 mg daily and also was taking fluoxetine for depression and anxiety over this condition. After taking the meds for awhile my symptoms went away and I was symptom free for 3 years. Because of the expense of the vesicare and because I was doing so well. I decided to stop taking both medications. My bladder was fine and normal and then about a year later the symtoms came back. So I am now back on the vesicare and the fluoxetine.
I am a young male (early 20s) and actually have two questions concerning different issues but I think they are connected:
1) I have sort of been experiencing this since a circumcision surgery 8 years ago though I guess I've noticed it a little more since I have gotten older: I go to the bathroom but it does not feel like a "relief" as in it feels like there is still a little more that could come out but it does not.
