"I take 15 ml of Oxybutynin, one tablet per day. This medication works great on my bladder condition, but for me, it has a horrible side effect. My throat is so very, very dry. I must always have a water bottle with me so I can lubricate my throat. I am researching another medication without that side effect."

"I used this for a while, then I switched over to another one. Was off of the Oxy for about 2 years. Decided to go back on it last year. Was only on it a short time and noticed that I would wake up with swollen eyes. Then, driving home from a trip from Colorado, my face and lips started to swell. I had to think about what I had eaten, then I remembered I had taken Oxy and figured that it was that causing my face, eyes, and lips to swell. I think it does work better than a few others. But now, I can't take the chance of the reaction I had."

"This medication did not work for me. I have been on just about every medication you listed, and none work. I also had a surgical procedure to insert a device that was supposed to help. I had this for two years and could never get it regulated enough to help. Besides that, the device was very uncomfortable, too, and I couldn't lie flat on my back for any length of time. So far, I have yet to find anything that helps. I am now getting Botox in the bladder. So we will see if that helps."

"I’ve been taking this medicine for a month now, 5 mg slow-releasing one taken every other day. The medication does seem to work, but personally, I have been getting really bad side effects from it. I have been feeling really tired with headaches, plus not feeling my usual self, my memory doesn’t seem to be the same as it was, and it just leaves you with a fuzzy head. I’ve been back to doctors, and they have lowered my dose to 2.5 mg to try and said if no better, to come back."

"Although I don't have to wear pads as much (usually do when I go out), I have a severe dry mouth. My tongue literally sticks to the roof of my mouth in the morning. When I use my CPAP, it has moisture, but is still dry."

Oxybutynin "I have Parkinson's and a prostatectomy. This medicine didn't relieve the frequent nighttime urination and caused negative mood changes (upset, anger) with swollen ankles and esophageal blockage."

"I made a comment back in 2014, and I am still taking the meds. They still work like a charm. I don't have the dry nose issue. I guess I am one of the lucky ones."
