Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "I was given the 4 mg sample. After the first day, I was unable to urinate, and after several trips to the bathroom, I was able to drain the bladder. A few days later, I tried a second time with the same result."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Incontinence "I have OAB with urinary incontinence and have had nothing work for me. I started taking this in combination with Gemtesa, and it works!! I am dry for most of the day, but I do think it wears off around 5 pm or so. I highly recommend trying it if nothing is working for you! I do have bad dry mouth and harder stool, but I’ll take that over incontinence any day."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "I have been taking Toviaz for three days for bladder spasms, and it is working. However, I am feeling the side effects big time. Very dizzy, which makes me nauseous, and I have these body tics at night. It also makes me feel very tired. The dry mouth is really not that bad. I may have to stop taking this drug."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "Unknown (frequently needing to void my bladder and most of the time thinking I was getting a bladder infection.) I have read a few of these reviews saying it worked immediately for you. I’m not finding that I’m up a lot in the night to go to the bathroom, and I don’t feel like my bladder is emptying properly. Has it taken longer for some people than just three or four days, I guess it is?"

For Urinary Frequency "I have been on it for two months now. It goes in waves. The first week was excellent. I went to the toilet 2 times per day. After that, I had a week where I had to go to the toilet every half an hour. Then back to the toilet every 3 hours. And today I have to go every hour. So it goes up and down. I hope it will stabilize after the 3 months mark."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "Been on Toviaz for two years now. The 8 mg. I do have dry mouth, I use the spray for dry mouth and that helps. My overactive bladder caused me to get up hourly at night, getting no rest, tired all day. I take my 8 mg tablet at night. I don’t have dizziness, don’t have nausea. This seems to work for me, I can get 2 to 3 hours of sleep before having to go pee. I can even go out shopping and do the dishes without having to stop and go to the bathroom. That’s good. I will not stop taking this until I have a problem with it, right now it’s OK."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "Relieves all my strong urgency to urinate. It allows my bladder to fill up. Then I can go to the bathroom without running or wetting on myself. I have no side effects. Thank you for helping me with my bladder problem."

For Urinary Frequency "Mybtriq constipated me severely, oxybutynin stopped working after a couple of years. This is my last step before the Botox procedure, considering I'm so young and will deal with this forever. So far, it's been working fairly well. The dry mouth isn't nearly as bad as oxybutynin, and without overactive bladder medication, my quality of life is very poor. A couple of days into the transition of medication, I noticed frequency and urgency increase, but it has since gone back down! I only take 4 mg currently and haven't had any side effects besides light dry mouth, but the dry mouth on this is SOOO much less than my dry mouth was on oxybutynin!! I won't give it a full 10 until I've been on it for 6+ weeks, but I'm hopeful that this is going to prevent me from the next bigger steps of procedures (or at least put them off for a couple of years). Insurance wouldn't have covered it if not for my doctor advocating for me. Insurance is a pain."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "I got prescribed this medication because of how often I was going pee. They said it was overactive bladder. I took this medication once, and I will never take it again. It made everything so much worse. The feeling of having to urinate NEVER went away, never subsided at all, and then when I would try to go pee, I couldn’t. The more time went on, the more discomfort I felt because the unbearable feeling of having to pee was so intense, but then not being able to just made it horrendous. My stomach started to really ache because my bladder was full, but I COULD not pee. I will never ever ever take this again. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had."

Fesoterodine for Urinary Frequency "Took one tablet at bedtime, had no idea it would take effect so fast after having just one pill. Now I am cramping because I need to get the water, cranberry juice, tea out of me, so now I am panicked and have dry mouth, cramping, and feeling I need to pee. On the first night, it completely shut off, maybe 4 mg would work better, and reduced water intake after 8 pm."

For Urinary Incontinence "I decided to try this medicine after trying a Pesi device. It worked immediately but left me broke and feeling like I was dying of thirst. I solved one problem by ordering it from Canada, and it is less than half the price. Wish it did not make me so thirsty. I am next trying the Myrbetriq and will leave a review once trying it."
