Darifenacin "I'm on Day 3 and notice a big change. No more accidents in the morning on the way to the toilet! I am also on an estrogen cream called Estrace and have used that once. Time will tell if this really works: I was on Vesicare for a few weeks and got great results, then it began not to work, and severe constipation made me stop taking it. I will be adding fiber to my diet and work to prevent the constipation before it takes me over again. Went to a urogynecologist this time. P.S. There is a mint you can try for dry mouth. It has one side of it with a sticky ingredient that will stick to your mouth so you don't swallow it. It works!"

"Been on it for about 2 years. It worked great for the first few months, then I started getting all the side effects. Dry mouth, blurred vision, swelling, weight gain, dry eyes, headaches, and constipation. Since being off of it for 6 days, all the side effects are subsiding. The swelling in my face is going down. I’m going regularly now. Even lost a couple of pounds. I think I’ll stick to holistic approaches, Kegel exercise, and being mindful of timing my water intake."

"Am using darifenacin ER 7.5 mg in place of oxybutynin ER 5 mg. It seems to be as or more effective than oxybutynin for urinary incontinence. It makes my skin dry and sensitive. I have a few itchy and sore patches of skin. This may be the combined result of several medications. Previously tried trospium and mirabegron. Neither worked for me. Preferred oxybutynin because it had few side effects, but research shows that oxybutynin crosses the blood-brain barrier and clouds memory with extended use. I can attest to this as my memory improved after I stopped taking it. However, there is no research on darifenacin regarding memory loss."

Darifenacin "7.5 mg dosage has done nothing for me. I think I should be trying the max dose of 15 mg, as I had taken the max dose of 4 mg of Detrol LA."
