Hi,

* Head ache is common side effect of Elmiron, but the severe anxiety
attacks are not usually noticed for the same.

* Discontinuation of 15 days of the tablet, makes you completely clear the drug from the system, still there is anxiety that suggest that the root cause of anxiety is not Elmiron.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
