Gabapentin for IC Pain Relief: Does it Work?

@Fayra So I found the oxybutin helped with frequency, and some pressure. But I did still experience it while dealing with stress or not drinking water. I have also used Valium suppositories, and that has helped. I take oxybutin twice a day, and it has stopped me from needing installations into the bladder. But when you so a view into the bladder it's still got the marks of inflammation on it but it doesn't feel as bad.

@Fayra See and I felt like I was going crazy on Cymbalta and in a dangerous way.. different bodies have those different reactions and sounds like we had something similar. Lyrica has been good to me, I have to finally up the dose after a year. And I should preface I maxed out my dosage with gabapentin with still experiencing symptoms. I still have flare ups but nothing too awful.

@Fayra have they tried a pudendal nerve block? That does help IC pain sometimes!

@Fayra got it, it’s definitely worth the try! Pregabalin is the only thing that touched my pain but the side effects were brutal. Ketamine is truly what made me feel better in the end!
