"Do not take if you have high blood pressure. It shot mine through the roof... 215/135. Please monitor your BP. Other than that, it did help the urinary incontinence when I stand up. I did not leak very much at all. The headaches associated with the increased blood pressure were unbearable. The dryness in my sinuses was annoying but manageable."

"I have been using VESIcare 10 mg for more than 3 years. They helped me a lot, I live with them without worries. Before that, I tried various pills, and none of them helped me like these. I don't have any side effects. Urination problems when laughing I have had my whole life, though they help me, I hope I won't need to use them my whole life."

"This drug VESIcare gave me uncontrollable diarrhea. It really affected my quality of life. I couldn’t walk my dogs without suddenly feeling like I needed to use the bathroom. Same with grocery shopping. It’s like the more I walked, the more I needed to use the bathroom. I did not find this drug to be very effective for urinary incontinence either."

"I have had similar experiences to others here. It worked, but my eyesight became bleary. My eyes were dry and teary. So I stopped. Years later, I realize how bad my hay fever is now from about March through September. Mmm, just saying because I am going to try taking VESIcare again and have bought some hypromellose eye drops at the same time."

"I've had stress urinary incontinence for over 2 years and never considered taking meds, pissed myself like every week and never slept good because it made me wake up like 2 or 3 times a night, plus having pain in my bladder. Started taking VESIcare 5 ml 5 months ago. Honestly, it's really good. I started seeing changes since the first month. I piss myself rarely now and don't wake up at night, maybe just once a night. I'll continue using it for 5 more months, maybe more. The only bad thing is the side effects, which are so annoying to me: really bad constipation, blurred vision, stomach pain, bad headaches, bad drowsiness, and fatigue, which affects my life because it makes me unable to do anything in my day, plus dryness. Me and my doctor still can't figure out the reason because it started when I was only 15. But anyways, it's a good med, just bad side effects."

"I've been using VESIcare for years and just started having trouble holding my urine. My doctor has increased the dosage. I hope this helps. It's very humiliating to wear disposable underwear."

"VESIcare seems to help better than Mybetriq, but I can't take the side effects. I have a constant sore throat and bronchitis-like symptoms."

"I took VESIcare 1 hr before dinner. About 1 am, woke up with severe abdominal pain. Thought I would have to go to the emergency room. Then I started with diarrhea, and the pain subsided."

"After years of bladder leakage, I have finally found a new lease on life thanks to VESIcare. I feel like a different woman, and the side effects have been minimal: dry mouth and slight dizziness."

"I have urge incontinence, and this does not seem to work at all. The only change is it sharpens my stream of urine."

"I have used VESIcare for over nine years. Only recently did it become ineffective. Also, I have glaucoma, and my eye doctor said I was just fine to use it. I had no side effects, maybe a tiny bit of vision blurriness, but nothing significant, and my eyes adjusted; I also attributed it to the glaucoma and cataracts, which have since been removed. Within the last few months (after nine years), I have had several accidents, which I attribute to stressful situations. My doctor has decided I need to try another drug (I am SO anti-drugs!) that he feels will be more effective. He gave me a week's samples. I will try tomorrow. Yes, VESIcare used to be $45 a month; now, it's $135. The new drug -$140. I am blessed to afford it. So worth it."
