Here in the US, Amitriptyline is used off label for pain. I have read it can help with Interstitial Cystitis. It's also an antidepressant, that is the 'main' use. But it is used a lot also for pain. I take it off label for a rare disorder I have called Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, and it works for that for me also. It can't hurt to Google Amitriptyline for your disorder. The brand name is Elavil. HTH!

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member..the ONE thing you never take, drink or eat when you have IC is anything with cranberry in it. It's like pouring acid on your bladder.
