For some reason, after all these years on serotonin drugs, the nerves in my bladder wall have become over sensitized to serotoin. So, now whenever I take any drug that effects serotonin, my bladder hurts, spasms, I get urinary frequency and urgency. When I stop taking the SSRIs or SNRIs the pain and all go away, but then I am sometimes left with a terrible bladder infection.

After ruling out all SSRI and SNRIs, my doc said Wellbutrin. He also said that I could try Abilify, but that it may also effect serotonin and give me problems.

The urologist I went to gave me 10mg of Elavil to take at night and that has helped a lot the past few days with the pain. But I wake up hungry.

Don't really know what the answer is. Doc also suggested Emsam, but I was very concerned when I read that one of the side effects is urinary/bladder infections. Ugh!
