Darifenacin for Urinary Incontinence "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!"

For Urinary Incontinence "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."
