For Urinary Incontinence "Wow. I've been reading these reviews. I've been on Toviaz for 6 months. I started off with 4 mg, now 8 mg. I had colon cancer in 2017, radiation treatments, now my bladder only holds 6 oz. of urine, terrible. I can't tell you how every night I was soaked!!! Went through so many incontinence products, crazy. It's no way to live. My urologist put me on this when nothing else could be done. Perhaps Botox every 6 months, driving 2 hours. Anyway, yes, there's dry mouth, etc., but I found in time it lessened. I have no constipation. Low side effects, anyway, I'm smiling again. Headaches went away over time. You're not going to get overnight success with this med. Give it time. I was told at least 6 weeks to 2 months to notice. Yes, it's expensive, but I'm not crying anymore. I will be on this the rest of my life. :)"

For Urinary Frequency "Started on Toviaz 4 mg three weeks ago. Side effects appear to be headaches and dry mouth. The drug is helping, and I am managing better, but not too happy at the thought of taking this for the rest of my life (I’m only 63). Asked GP for alternatives, do not want the TVT (a sling surgery procedure) operation!"

For Urinary Incontinence "Had to come off Toviaz due to side effects. Referred to the consultant, and she has re-prescribed again to work in conjunction with another 'wee stopper.' Headaches back again! Not sure that the consultant listened to me when I reported initial side effects? Will persevere for a fortnight, but again, I do not want to take this medication for the rest of my life."

For Urinary Frequency "Was on Toviaz 4 mg for almost 2 weeks, the 4th day I had sharp pains on the left side of my chest, extreme belching/burping, scared me, couldn’t sleep, went to the doctor to have an EKG done and check my heart, came back okay, so the doctor said probably acid reflux, then started having headaches every day and neck pain, which I never get headaches. Looked online at the side effects of Toviaz, and the rare effects sounded just like my symptoms, so I quit, and in 2 days no pains, very little burping, and headaches are better. Still have neck pain, but it is less, so I’m thinking it was the Toviaz."

For Urinary Incontinence "On Toviaz for almost 2 weeks, had sharp pain on the left side around the top of the breast and terrible belching and burping, then headaches that I never get and neck pain. Felt terrible and knew something was not right. Went to have an EKG done on my heart, looked good. Looked online and saw the severe side effects of Toviaz. I stopped immediately, and within a day or two, I was feeling almost back to normal."

For Urinary Frequency "I started Toviaz about a week ago, and it doesn’t seem to be working. I wake up every night about 3-4 times to use the toilet. It gives me horrible headaches and dry eyes and mouth."

For Urinary Frequency "Side effects after only one (8 mg) dose are impossible to live with. Increased urgency to urinate, difficulty starting urine stream, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea. I will never take it again."
