"I was put on Elmiron. I rapidly developed swelling, weight gain, and blinding headaches. My doctor said headaches were seldom from the drug... he also said the weight gain/swelling were not associated with the medication. I went off the medication for five months, all problems went away. I went back on a trial of it and gained 5.5 lbs in two weeks and had headaches, as well as swelling, again!"

"I was on this medication 8 months ago. The first three months were okay, no obvious side effects. After a problem at the pharmacy, I didn't have access for 3 weeks and then continued on it for another 3 months, and I am having the bad abdominal pain and swelling yet again. This time it feels like a radiating infection type of pain. Sharp pains in the front where I suspect my bladder is. I am now having this bloody mucus instead of bowel movements. I have also been experiencing hair loss in great amounts during showers. This medication seems to work at first and then begins to wreak havoc in other areas after extended use. I am on a strict IC diet, so I know that that is not the contributing factor."
