My stomach feels very full all day long and bloated.Don't see how you would gain any weight this way,only my
third day on x15mg.I'm stopping the night time dose can't sleep however.Taking for over active bladder,seems
to be helping somewhat.My eyes are a little blurred.
It says common side effect is rapid weight gain...anyone else (oxybutynin)?

From Drugs.com: The more common side effects of oxybutynin are:
"Acid or sour stomach, belching, decreased sweating, diarrhea, difficulty having a bowel movement (stool), drowsiness, dryness of the eyes, mouth, nose, or throat, heartburn, indigestion, runny nose, stomach discomfort, upset, or pain.
Less common or rare side effects are:
Blurred vision, nausea or vomiting, trouble with sleeping, unusual tiredness or weakness.
Additionally there is rapid weight gain and significant weight gain or loss."
These are just the side effects that correlate with your question. There appears to be a chance of weight gain or loss and your blurred vision is expected for some people. It's good that your OAB seems less active.
