Ditropan XL (oxybutynin) "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 since. 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."
