For Urinary Incontinence "I've been taking Toviaz 8mg for the past 3 weeks, and it's been a lifesaver for me. Not being able to control urination had been getting worse and worse over the past 3 years. I was given a 2-week sample of the 8mg after I had a urodynamic study done. It found that my bladder functioned perfectly normal - no spasms. The next day, I didn't make it to work, I had to go home and change clothes. So, I've been taking the Toviaz since that day, and BAM, the sudden urges are gone! I do have chronic dry mouth and mild tiredness and found that taking it during the day versus at night was the better solution. Waking up with cotton mouth in the middle of the night was a big problem. I suggest trying it, it's worth it!"

For Urinary Frequency "My doctor gave me the 14-day sample pack of Toviaz (4 mg). By the second day, I could tell it was working (fewer trips to the bathroom). The third and fourth days, I experienced some blurred vision, lasting for 30 to 60 minutes at a time. Since then, I have not had blurred vision. I have been taking Toviaz for a month now, and I am very happy that I don't have to look for a washroom everywhere I go. When I go out for walks, I can stay out for over an hour without having to worry if I'll make it home in time! My only question at this time is could Toviaz be making me tired, and if so, will the tiredness go away? Since I started taking it, I have been lacking energy. Otherwise, I like how the medicine works for me."

For Urinary Frequency "I was prescribed 4 mg of Toviaz after Detrol LA (didn't work) and Vesicare (didn't work- in creased dosage made me extremely tired). It seemed to work great at first. I was able to get 4-5 hours of sleep in a row without waking. However, the effects diminished around the 7-8 week mark, especially at night. I even changed my diet and followed the 'Your Way' plan. I'm trying the 8 mg dosage today. I do like how Pfizer gives you a discount card. I pay only $5 out-of-pocket a month."

For Urinary Frequency "Toviaz worked very well for the first few weeks, but then started losing its effectiveness. I used to wake up 10 times a night to use the bathroom, and now I get up around 5 times a night. It causes dry mouth (which is especially bad during the night) and also makes me tired. Also, the best insurance plans typically won't cover this medication (I pay $70 for a one-month supply)."

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."
