For Urinary Incontinence "I am 44 and suffer from constant waking at night to urinate and have to push down to get all the urine out. I am constantly in the bathroom during the day. The urologist wasn't sure what was going on after the cystoscopy, just that I have a small bladder. He gave me 3 weeks of samples, and I'm into the 2nd week. I read it takes several weeks to see effects, so I'm not sure when it will help because it hasn't yet. I suffer from migraines, and I have been getting mild headaches most every day. I am at the point where I want to self-cath before bed to get all the urine out and avoid frequent waking. I'm gonna finish up the week and a half I have left, but so far, no results. If the headaches continue, I will not be filling a prescription. I am at the point that I would rather self-cath before bed and drink less water during the day. I will rate again at 3 weeks."

For Urinary Frequency "Only interested in men's experience. Just started taking it for nighttime nocturia issue. I did wake with a headache after 2 days, so will go until things get worse. Nighttime wake-ups were pretty bad, so I'm hoping side effects are tolerable. Worried my urination won't shut down."

For Urinary Frequency "I was in constant pain caused by OAB spasms causing friction on bladder walls. Three days on this med almost completely stopped my pain. A month later, still nearly pain-free but having frequent, daily headaches and calf cramps nearly every night (even with potassium supplements). Love the medication, not enjoying the stress effects."

For Urinary Frequency "Started taking 25 mg, then after about 6 weeks was increased to 50 mg. Started having the world's worst headaches, sinus pain, earache, heart palpitations, and very elevated blood pressure. Primary care had me stop immediately. Only been off for one day and still have headache and sinus pain. Will never take again. Overpriced and never worked well for my frequency."

For Urinary Frequency "I'm a 43-year-old female. Took Myrbetriq 50 mg for 2 weeks only and had to stop it. My urologist had given me 4 free weeks to try it. He is still trying to figure out why I'm unable to empty my bladder fully, and he thinks my sensation of bladder fullness is a symptom of OAB. So, he prescribed Myrbetriq. Since day one, the med eliminated the sensation of my bladder being full all the time, which reduced the number of times I felt I needed to go to the restroom to pee considerably. However, I started developing terrible side effects that I did not have before: headache, abdominal pain at night that did not allow me to sleep, constipation, back pain, dizziness. This medicine is expensive, and my insurance does not cover it. Due to the terrible side effects and given the uncertainty that this medicine is what I need to help me void better, I decided to discontinue this med and wait for my doctor to prescribe something different for me."

For Urinary Frequency "Didn't work for me at all. Very disappointed. I actually got worse, but I kept taking it because the doctor said it takes 4 to 6 weeks to work. I'm taking 25 mg. The side effects: headache."
