I have been on 8mg Toviaz for one week. I can't seem to tell any difference in the number of trips to the bathroom. Does anyone know how long it takes for Toviaz to start working? What is the maximun time that I should wait?

According to my urologist, it can take 4 weeks of taking Toviaz for it to kick in. I've been on it for 4 days and although my symptoms are not gone, I have improved. Just be patient; I think it varies from person to person

It is not working for pressure at all. Two weeks and I feel worse. Shaky, rapid heart rate, and vertigo is awful.

I have been on 4mg for 2 weeks. I actually began to see a difference at the end of the 1st week. I have much more control and less trips to the bathroom. Not a health professional; may not be for everyone, but it has worked for me.

The doctor gave me 2 weeks of samples of the 4 mg. and 2 weeks of the 8 mg. Because my symptoms were severe, I started taking the 8 mg. 4 days ago. It has started working.
Try to get samples if you don't want to pay $372.00 for a 30 day supply (and that is with insurance).

Yes, I have been on it for 4 days and I noticed this morning that I was unsteady on my feet and had vertigo. To me that side effect is worth it because the day before I scheduled an appointment with the urologist, I went 80 times in 13 hours. Try sitting down and the dizziness and vertigo will pass.

Yes, I noticed that today and yesterday morning. I was unsteady on my feet. Try sitting down for a minute; that seems to help.

If is to work I think you should see a difference in 2 to 3 days. I would suggest you give it one more week and then see the doctor.
