"I am 83 years old and took Detrol for 6 weeks so I could join my family on an Alaska cruise. It worked great, voice was raspy but could handle several other side effects. But then came home and realized while in the car my eyes were not what they were before, so I stopped taking the medication and am happy to say this morning I took my car and went shopping and eyes were just fine. I will only take it when I am going to be gone for several days or on an occasion that would require me to sit for several hours, then I could not make it to the bathroom, otherwise."

"I started a week ago and so far so good. I took this medication several years ago and had no problems. I had a bladder sling removed 5 months ago and because of the damage that has been done, I have to take medication. This is the second time medication I am trying."

"I was previously on another medication but was changed to Detrol LA due to some non-emergency side effects. Have used Detrol LA for 2 weeks and find that my bladder always needs to empty (4-5 times a night) and a delay in getting urine stream started. It seems to make by bladder spasm more. Called my doctor to return to the other medication."
