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.

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.

Ditropan (oxybutynin) for Urinary Incontinence: I have Parkinson's and a prostatectomy. This medicine didn't relieve the frequent nighttime urination and caused negative mood changes (upset, anger) with swollen ankles and esophageal blockage.

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: 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.

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 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!

Ditropan (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: This medicine is supposed to stop urinary leakage but that is not working for me. I rate it 2 out of 10 because it seems to help a little bit.

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 Overactive Bladder: This did not help my overactive bladder. All it did was cause constipation and give me a dry mouth.

Ditropan (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: I took this for bladder spasms when I had a stent put into my ureter when I had a kidney stone. It provided a great deal of relief from the painful bladder spasms. I did not notice any side effects.

oxybutynin for Urinary Incontinence: I have been taking Oxybutynin for approximately two months now due to urinary incontinence and bladder pain. It does help somewhat for the bladder spasms, but not all of the time. I have also noticed that the skin on my face and mouth is extremely dry. The last and worst side effect that I just noticed a couple of days ago is dry eyes and blurred vision.

oxybutynin for Hyperhidrosis: I have been on this medication for about a month and I am so thankful for it! I am on another medication that causes me to sweat excessively; so bad that it was interfering with my daily life. My doctor wrote me a script for oxybutynin 5mg and it has worked so great to help me not sweat so much. I don't have bladder issues, but its great for people who have major sweating problems!

Ditropan (oxybutynin) for Urinary Incontinence: It didn't work for my incontinence problem (which occurred after laser TURP), and I think it made it worse. It caused me to have a dry mouth, which caused me to drink more, which caused more incontinence. I told the doctor that I wasn't having bladder spasms, but he ignored what I said and said to give it a try and come back in 30 days.

Oxytrol (oxybutynin) for Urinary Incontinence: It didn't work for me. I was disappointed since I like the idea of a patch.

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 had a stent placed in my ureter after getting a kidney stoned removed by a ureteroscopy. The stent caused severe bladder spasms and cramps in the abdominal area. This drug kind of made me turn into a zombie, but it also made me feel so much better!

Oxytrol (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: Works well but had site reaction with each patch. Itching, swelling and redness. Tried using Benadryl spray 1st, let dry then applied patch. Patch then would not stick properly.

oxybutynin for Dysuria: I'm 22 years old and I used this drug after a ureteroscopy for a large kidney stone. I had a stent in place for 6 weeks and found that this drug worked miracles for me. It relieved pain in the both the bladder and kidney and helped urination become far less painful. A side effect was that it made me slightly lethargic and tired - but that beats the pain any day.

Oxytrol (oxybutynin) for Overactive Bladder: I had very bad experience with Ditropan (Oxybutynin in tablets) with unacceptable side effects. After some years my GP suggested trial of Oxybutynin patches. That was the second best thing after sliced bread. Within 2 days I went from up to 6 wetting incidents per 24 hours to 0 and in the following weeks a substantial reduction in the leaking of urine. I have now used Oxytrol for 5 weeks and the only side effect is severe constipation, which seems to be helped by changing the Oxytrol patch every 5 days instead of 3 or 4. I have no other side effects, no dry mouth, no sensitive skin where the patches have been sitting on either side of the body. So I am a very satisfied user, no more large pads, nappies, PVC pants just a normal size Tena pad.
