Ditropan (oxybutynin) for Urinary Incontinence: My doctor prescribed this for urinary incontinence and it did a great job of controlling my urge incontinence. However, she apparently forgot that I had had lap band surgery. After taking it for a week and a half, I was unable to eat normally and became sick after eating. I had to bring up what I had eaten to stop the pain. On checking this site I learned it should not have been priscribed for someone with a digestive system blockage.

Ditropan XL (oxybutynin) for Prostatitis: I have taken this drug off and on for 5 years now. I use it for Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. It works the best out of anything I have tried thus far. It takes most of my pain away, stops the frequent urination but it does have side effects. When I first started taking it my only side effect was dry mouth which went away after two months. After a year I built up a tolerance to the drug and it has never worked the same sense. The longest I can take it now is 1-2 weeks before it wears off. I usually take it when my symptoms are so bad that I must take medicine. Generally, I take it for a week straight then go off of it. I get withdrawal like symptoms for a day and usually my pain goes away for a week to two months and then I repeat this cycle

oxybutynin for Overactive Bladder: I have multiple sclerosis and one of the most annoying symptoms is urinary issues. I have to go A LOT, don't have a lot of time to actually get to the bathroom and I wake up 4-5 times per night to go. I have tried a few other medicines for this but Oxybutynin ER has been the only one that made a difference. Now I only get up 1-2 times per night and I can go out without fear of finding a bathroom in time. Only side effect I've had is severe dry mouth, but it does make me drink more water so not a total negative.

oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence: This has worked wonders! I can go places without worrying if I will make it to the next rest stop of store bathroom. I can do things with my daughter without having to go to the bathroom every few minutes. Still have to wear a pad for drips but I don't have to wear those pull-up like diapers anymore. HURRAY!

oxybutynin for Overactive Bladder: I've tried the others that dry your eyes and mouth, blurr your vision and even paralyze your muscles so that you can't urinate without concentrating on it. This one is the winner. It cuts incontinence and overactive bladder with no side effects. I love it.

oxybutynin for Overactive Bladder: I'm very pleased with this medicine. It makes me really sleepy and when I wake up in the morning I'm still groggy. Otherwise it's a very good drug.

Oxytrol (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: This patch provided much needed relief from my constant need for a bathroom. I can now enjoy so many things that I could not do before the patch like the movies, walking, or running errands without looking for a bathroom. The only draw back is the sticky adhesive marks left by the patch. But these sticky adhesive marks come off with bath oil and a finger nail brush.

oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence: This has been a life saver. No longer do I have to worry about visiting friends overnight or going on trips and have to stop numerous times to go to the bathroom. I can finally get a good nights sleep. I have not had any side effects.

oxybutynin for Overactive Bladder: This drug has helped me a lot. I have a very dry mouth from it but it is helping so well that I over look the dry mouth.

Oxytrol (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: Oxytrol seems to be the best medication for me. I have only tried one other for the overactive bladder. However, this was the best medication due to the side effects, which were basically unnoticed.
