For Urinary Incontinence "For the first 5 months, it worked great. Then suddenly, it was just okay. Better than no medication. I have heartburn so bad that Pepcid isn't enough. Dry mouth comes and goes. So I have the bladder issue, okay, but heartburn is severe daily."

For Overactive Bladder "52 yr old male and was experiencing some sudden onset overactive bladder issues. I have been taking tolterodine 4 mg for 1 week now. It has cut my nighttime accidents by more than half. Only a little dry mouth and no constipation issues so far. My only issue is now I’ve had some daytime issues that I didn’t have before. Sometimes I have a 3-hour stretch in the middle of the day where I’m peeing constantly. I’ll give it more time than just a week because I’m loving getting better sleep and not having nighttime accidents."

Tolterodine for Urinary Frequency "I think I would give up food before I would give up my Detrol. It has saved my social life. I was willing to pay $70 per month before I got better insurance."

Tolterodine for Urinary Frequency "Took it for 2 weeks, and my condition got worse. Not worth the side effects-dry eyes, mouth and skin, lethargic, and sleepy. Had to go 5-6 times a night and sometimes 10 times before lunch."
