Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Was having to get up every couple of hours at night to pee. My urologist gave me a 30-day sample of Myrbetriq. The meds seemed to work. I was now sleeping 4-5 hours without having to get up. What I didn't know is how expensive this drug is. Even with discounts, the cost was over $400 for 30 pills. There is no generic and like many of the big pharmas in the United States, they can charge just about whatever they want. I wound up ordering the pills from Canada for $100 for 30 pills. My doctor wrote me a prescription for 90 pills so my cost was just slightly over $300. It was easy and took about 2 weeks for delivery from Canada. Too bad that big pharma in the US owns the politicians and can charge whatever they want."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I was on Myrbetriq 25mg daily for a year, then asked to go to 50mg daily and it has changed my life from the beginning (6 weeks into it). Helps with urgency, frequency, and bladder spasms. I also lost weight from the drug, with no dieting, because it makes your metabolism faster. This is one reason you should never take the drug at night! The feeling you all have mentioned is your metabolism working faster. Take it in the morning or day to enjoy more energy! Everyone is different, but I'm glad I gave it a try. I hope it continues to work for me. You should give it at least 6 weeks to work correctly with your body. My Urologist insisted it takes 6 weeks to kick in, and he was right."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I took Myrbetriq for 3 weeks and ended up in the ER on July 12th, 2021 with a heart rate of 148. I spent 2 days in the hospital. I experienced shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, and stomach pains. All my cardio exams, blood work, and scans were negative. I am currently wearing a heart monitor. I did not have any health issues before taking this drug. Please be careful taking this medicine."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have taken this drug for 8 months. I was surprised that it worked right away because I had tried many other things like Ditropan, Uripaz, etc., that did not work. However, the longer I have taken it, the worse I feel from side effects. My hair started to fall out early on, but I didn’t connect it with Myrbetriq until I read these reviews. Slowly, it started to stop working as well. I had a UTI, and now I have a pounding headache, my ears buzz, I am so dizzy I am afraid to take a shower, my nose runs steadily, my eyes burn. I can’t concentrate, maybe because I feel as if my head will explode. I see my doctor tomorrow. Hopefully, she will come up with a good alternative, and I won’t have withdrawal from this med. I would rate it 7/10 for symptom relief but overall 0/10 because of the severe side effects, including palpitations, muscle cramps, itchy skin, skin so dry it flakes off, as well as the other things I mentioned."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I went to my doctor because I had experienced urinary frequency for some time with some leakage. She gave me a sample of Myrbetriq and everything seemed to be fine. The only side effect that I had was I lost almost all of my hair! I used to have what my friends and family would call Hollywood hair, and now I have no hair and I am a 62-year-old female. I would avoid this medication if you want to keep your hair. I would rather pee myself than be bald!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Only started yesterday, but in these 2 days - great. Number of trips to the bathroom during the day went from at least 12 to 5 yesterday and 6 today. I slept through the night last night without needing to get up once. Best of all, I was in the car running errands for over 2 hours and experienced absolutely no urgency. Small sample, but so far so good!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This drug has been an absolute game-changer for me. I've only been taking it for about 3 months, so I am still getting used to not having to run to the bathroom every 15 mins. The effects were immediate. I noticed a drastic reduction in frequency just within the first few hours of taking my first dose. It's amazing to look back and see how much I (and my friends/family) had arranged their lives around my bladder - planning for bathroom breaks, making mad dashes to the bathroom when in public, and running on the verge of dehydration for years in an attempt to reduce the frequency. I can't imagine going back to that."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Took 25 mg of Myrbetriq samples, then bought another month's supply of the drug. I took it for a total of 40 days. It initially helped with my urinary frequency, but then I started experiencing headaches during the afternoon and evening. I slept well for the first few days, but then the headaches became constant. They were the worst headaches I have ever felt, with intense, constant stabbing pain. I felt lethargic, lost my appetite, and only found minimal relief with ice on my head. I had several sleepless nights and then developed a fast heartbeat with pounding in my ears. I often experienced the sensation of vomit rising in my throat and became completely immobile. I stopped taking Myrbetriq on September 12th, 2019. Four days later, I am still dealing with the headache, but now it's intermittent with sudden sparks or flashes of pain in my head. Today, I managed to eat oatmeal and scrambled eggs for the first time. While I'm glad this drug has helped some people, I would recommend caution before using it."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I started Myrbetriq about three weeks ago. What a difference it has made in my life. The doctor gave me samples for 25 mg and I noticed a positive change the first day and even more after a few days. When my two-week supply of samples ran out, I requested to try the 50 mg, and this level has almost completely alleviated all the symptoms I was having. Now I'm battling with my insurance company to approve the medicine. Hopefully they will come through for me because this medication is working great."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "My Dr. prescribed Myrbetriq for my overactive bladder. I was getting up 3-4 times at night, and going every hour or so in the day. After 5 weeks, I called it quits. It did calm my bladder down, so that I'm only going once at night and every few hours in daytime. The downside? I started having urge incontinence, and couldn't make it to the bathroom when I finally felt the urge to go. Just bending over to get out of bed, I would gush. Leaking through 2 pads a day. Nope, I'd rather be going often than peeing on myself. By the way, if you do take this medication and find it too expensive, you may qualify for free medication through the manufacturer of this drug. I did."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This drug worked great for me. I was up urinating at night about 4-5 times a night and as frequently during the day. After one week, I saw an improvement and after two months on it, my night/day urination was back to normal. It has been 6 months since I finished the medication, and still no problems. Hope it stays that way."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have been taking this medication for a month now and have noticed a big difference in the amount of times I go to the bathroom. It is great, but like with all the other medications, you must watch the amount of caffeine you intake because it doesn't work as well. Caffeine will relax the muscle, but if I drink water or anything caffeine-free, I am fine. I can drink up to 3-4 glasses and still be okay. It worked better than all the others I've been put on."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I took Myrbetriq for 4 months for treatment of severe overactive bladder. It helped me only slightly and the side effects for me would have caused me to stop taking it even if it had been 100% helpful. It immediately spiked my blood pressure to an average of 180/110, and my blood pressure returned to normal as soon as I stopped taking it. It also caused me bladder pain, which I can best describe as feeling like my bladder was filled with shards of broken glass whenever my bladder got full. I also had difficulty emptying my bladder. I wanted this to work, but unfortunately, it did not for me."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have been on this medication for 2 months - 50 mg. It has reduced my frequency slightly (from 20 to 18 times), but has relieved the bladder pressure and urgency (that was constant). I can almost sleep for 5 hrs without the need to urinate. It has significantly improved the quality of my life. When I started the medication I had headaches, but after a week they disappeared."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I was given the 25mg for two weeks then progressed to the 50 mg. This pill is a Godsend. I felt relief with the first pill. As I continued to take the other pills for the first week, I have seen a very big improvement. I now control my bladder, it doesn't control me. I can sleep up to 5 hours a night without getting up to go. Thank you for this great medication. I have had no side effects. I love this medication and recommend it for others to try. It has changed my life."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "Myrbetriq worked 100% when I first started on it. Somehow, I missed taking it for several days and the symptoms returned. I have been faithfully taking it for 3 months since the 'break' in taking it and there is no reduction in my symptoms. I am back to where I was before I was prescribed the medicine."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This medication has changed my life. I could tell a difference with this medicine within a day or two of taking it. I can now leave my home and not worry about where the restrooms are located everywhere I go. I don't have to worry about having an 'accident' on my way to the restroom. I can sleep all through the night. Only problem is, yesterday I received a letter from my insurance company stating it is no longer covered under my pharmacy benefit plan. So I can't afford to continue taking Myrbetriq."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I’ve been on Myrbetriq for a little over a month now. I was thrilled that it worked on the first day, and it seemed like my urinary frequency was cured! But two to three weeks later, I started experiencing terrible stomach pain after eating and then horrible diarrhea. My doctor tried to tell me it wasn’t Myrbetriq, that these are not common side effects of this drug, but after reading these reviews, I see I am not alone in suffering from these particular side effects. I'm sad about quitting this medication because it worked very well for my urinary issues. But I’m quitting this medication today."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I have tried several medications with only a slight improvement. I was going to the toilet an average of 15 times a day, and now about 8-9. But the good thing is, I can now sleep at night. For the past couple of years, I have been waking up 2-3 times at night, and now I can sleep for 6-8 hours. Not only has it improved, but there are less side effects. Not much of a dry mouth. Finally, a medicine that works."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "I can't find anyone else that experiences this, but I swear when I take this medication it sometimes makes my symptoms worse. At least 3-4 times a week, it is like my bladder just fills up over and over really fast with tons of clear urine. I don't know where it comes from. It most often happens first thing in the morning so there is little to no way of ever sleeping in on my day off. If I am not exhausted, my bladder won't let me sleep but so much. This morning it was every 15-30 mins I was urinating like I had been chugging gallons of water. Sometimes it follows me to work and since I am on the road with my job, I am in complete hell at times. I do not have diabetes. Doctors say at least my kidneys are good. Yet the misery continues."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "This Myrbetriq drug did help me at first with the overactive bladder, but then stopped working. Do NOT take this drug. I was tired ALL of the time to the point where it was disgusting. I would nap three hours a day and felt so lazy. Changed who I was completely. It also made me very sick if I went out for a drink. I have hair loss issues as well. It isn’t worth it for me, I’d rather just pee my pants."

I have been on this product for a little less than a month and not seen any side effects, and my symptoms are better. It is a higher co-pay, but worth the symptom relief!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) "In the past, all medications failed. Then, I went for stimulation of the Tiva nerve, but that did not work after 12 weeks of therapy. My average times per day was approximately 15. I have been on MYRBETRIQ 25MG for 3 days, and my average now is 9. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. No side effects. I am a 70-year-old male."
