Hair Loss Need Advice!

September 2, 2009 - 3:52pm — snoopy62

I was diagnosed with IC and Vulvodynia 6 mths ago. I started feling relief within 3mths of taking 300mg of Elmiron. But now I am eperiencing hair loss. More and more each time I wash my hair. My Urologist recommended I reduce the dose to 200mgs. It has been a week. Within 24hrs I started feeling symptoms again. THe frequency, pain and/or burning. The Dr. said I would start feeling symptoms within months of comming off the medicine completely. Anyone out there with a similar situation? I am fairly new to this. Need advice. Thanks
