VESIcare (solifenacin) for Urinary Incontinence: I've used several different medications, but Vesicare has been the best for relieving stress incontinence and especially urgency. It's not 100% but I'd give it at least a 90%. Makes leaving home much easier.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: This worked great but caused bad constipation. I know it was from Vesicare because I have never had constipation before.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I am a male and I was told that mostly women use this type of medicine. I can't say enough good things about Vesicare. My doctor says it's the only medication in the class of drugs that last the whole 24 hours. It especially helps with my urgent feelings.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Urinary Incontinence: I have suffered from urinary urge incontinence for a number of years. It has gotten worse over time until now, I have had no control at all. My doctor prescribed Vesicare and I have been taking it for two days so far. I can't believe the difference. I am now able to control the urge and even postpone the length of time between toilet visits. It will be so nice to be able to leave home and not worry that I'd better pass a toilet every half hour while I am gone.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Urinary Incontinence: I have had three surgeries for stress and urgency incontinence and I kept a diary as to how many times I had to go to the bathroom per 24 hour period as my Mayo Doctor requested. 14 plus times per day ! I started on Detrol and had depression symptoms so I was switched to Vesicare. 100% better ! I would recommend this to anyone. I feel like I have my life back.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I have had problems for years, with urine leakage/having to go to the bathroom a lot and not being able to hold it. Last year, the doctor that I was seeing had suggested that I have surgery to correct the problem. I would have had to be off work for 6 weeks. I've been on Vesicare for just over a month and it's a lifesaver. I started seeing results almost immediately. Now, instead of having to go to the bathroom every few hours (I drive a para-transit bus) and not being able to make it to the bathroom in time, I go maybe 4 times a day. I would recommend it to anyone that was having problems with overactive bladder. The coupon, that my pharmacist includes, also helps....thanks! My husband says thanks to.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: VESIcare seems to be helping. Took Detrol LA for 2 months with some improvement. Changed to VESIcare for a month and went from going 18 times a day to 10 to 12, and only getting up once most nights. I am only 36 and still active and the only side effect I have noticed is I have stopped sweating. Real pain with my job (I'm a firefighter) but just try to think ahead and take measures to cool off as quick as I can.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I was back to normal after 2 pills. No more urgency, accidents, or frequency. I have got my life back. I suffered for 3 years before going to the doctor because I was sure I'd have to have surgery or some horrible procedure done. I wish I had gotten this medicine 3 yrs. ago!

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: Tried Vesicare with Flomax for about 6 weeks. I saw a little improvement but not enough. Switched to Detrol LA and improved a great deal.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: Went from having to get up 3 times each night to urinate to only once each night! Has made for a much more restful nights sleep! Great medicine.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I was going to the bathroom all the time. It was horrible, on vacation finding bathrooms everywhere we went. After I started Vesicare I only go to bathroom 1 or 2 times all day long. I have had no side effects at all and feel great. I have been taking it for almost 1 year.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: Product works great, however I did experience some side effects, especially when I first started taking it, nothing that wasn't in the information though. I had fairly severe pain in my chest similar to heartburn pain; but this went away over time, and I only occasionally experience minor now (been on it for a year). I also did experience a little blurred vision at first, but again it has gone away. As I am only 43 years old, my doctor I might be able to take it for a few months then stop, but that didn't work, had to go back on it again. Now I take it every other day, which is about 95% effective, but to me worth the trade off of not taking so much medication at my age.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I took one pill at night as directed by my doctor and the next day I had tightness in the chest and could feel my heart racing. Disappointed that this medication is not for me. Hope there is something that will be able to help this frustrating problem.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: Effective at stopping bladder pain but suffered very bad oral and nasal dryness so had to stop. Also suggest try not to drink alcohol for bladder pain.

VESIcare (solifenacin): I use this for urethral spasms. It has helped relax my urethral muscles, so that I no longer have to 'push' to pass urine. But it really stings my bladder (I have IC) so I'm stopping it.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Overactive Bladder: I got positive results after the first tablet. I stayed with the medication for two weeks but had to discontinue use due to constipation. In fact the constipation was so bad in the second week I was giving myself enemas to get relief.

VESIcare (solifenacin) for Urinary Incontinence: I tried Detrol LA for quiet some time, but still had "accidents". I switched to VESIcare and have not had any accidents. I have been taking it for over a year now and I am very pleased with the results.
