For Interstitial Cystitis "Elmiron has worked wonders for me! I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis in January, and it took a long time for the medicine to kick in. I didn't feel much relief until June, approximately 5 months, don't give up! I still have frequency but not even close to how it was. I had a lot of burning pain, my bladder seemed like it was on fire all the time. I felt fatigued, weak, and depressed, but thanks to Elmiron, I'm now on the road to recovery!"

For Interstitial Cystitis "I was on Elmiron for two years and started to have severe hair loss after the 3-month period. I continued taking it for about 2 years because it helped my pain so much. I’ve decided to get off of it three months ago, and I still have a giant bald patch at the very top/back of my head and a circular bald patch in the front with very, very thin hair. I can’t even tie my hair with an elastic, it’s gotten so thin. This medication also caused dizziness and weakness when I would switch from a sitting to a standing position."
