Hi-
I asked my pain MD about dex and he came up with an interesting point you might want to ask if you decided to proceed with this (he kindly did some research).

Amphetamines raise BP, which means they constrict vessels which means they lessen blood flow.

For many of us the tissue surrounding the bladder and pelvic floor is so restrictive that we need MORE no less blood flow.

It was a good conversation, there is some date of course it helps but an interesting sidebar that might be worth asking. In my case we decided not to as I have major restrictive issues.

Good luck.

Melanie

interesting, i took anphetimine salts and adderal in high school (add) c and i did have frequency and pressure, and pain from sex but it was so mild in comparison that i thought i was just having "irritation". after quitting adderal and getting a UTI i no have had nonstop severe pain for 5 years. i wonder if the adderal and anphet. was masking it, or if i didnt have full blown IC at that time?
