Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "During the day, I can go many hours without needing a bathroom break, but once I get into bed and stretch out, the problems start. Although I have been taking Gemtesa for over a year, and no matter whether I go to bed at 9, 10, or 11, the first urge is almost exactly at 11:30 pm. It can then be as often as every 30 minutes, but more likely every hour, hour and a half, sometimes right through the night, but sometimes urges stop around 4-5. I get VERY LITTLE SLEEP!!! I've tried taking the pill early in the day, at noon, but now take it around 7 pm. No time seems better than another. Gemtesa is very expensive, and I'm not sure it's really helping, but I'm afraid to stop taking it."

Vibegron "I've just been placed on this medication for bladder spasms and discomfort. Within an hour or two of the first dose, I could feel the difference it was making, which was such a pleasant surprise since the condition was a gradual onset, did not realize how severe it had gotten until I tried this medication. It has been wonderful. It's been a relief to be able to remove this problem from my plate of health issues. So far, no side effects and I am medication-sensitive. I strongly encourage the use of this for many things but definitely for pain discomfort from bladder spasms."

Vibegron "I’ve taken this med for about a month. At first, I noticed a good response, especially less frequency during the night. I used to go every couple of hours throughout the night, and after using the med for several days, I was going every four to five hours. I was elated to get longer stretches of sleep, but now, the past week, I feel like it stopped working. I’m back to my old pattern and having more leaking episodes than ever. I’m giving it another week and will contact my doctor if it continues this way. It could be I’m having a bad IC flare, and it has nothing to do with the med. Still figuring things out and am starting a food and urine diary."

Vibegron "I had days that a big night pad had to be replaced 3-4 times a day. I had huge dribbling out of urine completely saturating pad after pad any time I moved stood up, etc., plus the regular leakage. On the 1st day, my Dr gave me and I took the medication, I went back to just normal leakage no more pouring out. From the 1st day, the Gemtesa worked better than the previous medication Dr gave me. He gave me a 21-day package, but now that it’s run out, I cannot afford this medication no matter how good it works."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Been taking this for about a month and it’s working really well. I haven’t had any side effects except for slightly dry eyes, which just encourages me to drink more water, which I should be doing anyway. I’ve had OAB for decades, even wet the bed until I was 13. I never wanted to talk to a doctor because it was too embarrassing. But it got so bad that I was afraid to leave the house because I never got ANY warning and would have to cross my legs and hop to the bathroom. So I finally asked my doctor for something and was prescribed Gemtesa. I have Medicare along with supplementary Medicaid, and I don’t know who paid for it, but I only have like an $8 co-pay, thank God. I take it at night with a slice of bread and I’ve never had nausea or tiredness. I used to wake up in the morning and I wouldn’t feel any urge to urinate until I stood up, and then it would be an immediate dash to the bathroom."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I have MS and tried other meds for OAB that didn't help at all. I've been on Gemtesa for a year now and it's wonderful to walk past the incontinence products. I have cut the dose to every other day because my bladder isn't emptying fully but it's worth it to be able to sleep through the night!"

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I have been taking it for 4 days and it has worked wonders for me. Not experiencing any side effects but having crazy dreams at night. Don’t know if the medication is causing it or just a coincidence! Costing me $47.00 per month after insurance. It is well worth it to me. Hopefully will continue to be successful."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Helps more than other medications I have been on. Was excited about Rex that would help. Made going out of the house better. Not having to search for a bathroom and anxiety about not finding a bathroom in time. BUT… I am on Medicare and no coverage for Gemtesa. Also going for pelvic floor therapy. I think every woman should do pelvic floor exercises."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I've been on this medication for a couple of weeks. It has been working for me. I didn't like oxybutynin. Presently, I'm extremely comfortable taking it daily. I am scheduled to meet with my urologist this week for a follow-up."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Usually reliable - lasts for approximately 7 hours - does NOT stop urinary leaking if alcohol has been consumed. Also I have experienced brain fog & short-term memory confusion & loss! Also caused severe dry eye. Still prefer to use this drug more than others in its class."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I was on samples for about 2 months. Worked great. Originally on oxybutynin. Barely worked. I had results with Gemtesa from day 1. I’m thirsty as all get down. I’m constipated. Loved the medicine. Costs not so much. I have private insurance and it’s over $1700 for a 90-day supply. Tried Gemtesa’s coupon. It really wasn’t helpful for me because my insurance wouldn’t pay for it at all. The other option to get the price down to $90.00 a month also didn’t work for me because of the out-of-pocket price. That program works by giving you about $400 a month for the meds. My pharmacy was nearly $600.00 per month so it still would’ve been nearly $200.00 a month. The company gave me a 3rd option. It appears they appealed to the insurance company for approval and it failed also. I wish it were more obtainable. Now we’re looking into other options like Botox, sacral Neuromodulation. Good luck to all of you in finding success."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I had been taking Flomax for several years. It continued to be effective but I started experiencing significant hypotension resulting in some falls. The doctor gave me a couple of trial boxes of Gemtesa. It took a few weeks, but with the Gemtesa my incontinence stopped, and I no longer suffered from sudden hypotension episodes. I have not had any adverse side effects."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "3 wks in and having fewer accidents. I had my first child 26 yrs ago and have had issues since when I laugh, cough, sneeze, move wrong, lift using lower abdominal muscles. I can say that the incidence has drastically decreased, at this time, I am not using as many pads or changing clothes often."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I've been taking Gemtesa for three years, with great success. I no longer need to know where a toilet is for stopping every 15 minutes while driving. At first, in 2021, my UroGyn needed to write a letter to my insurance company for them to cover Gemtesa. Thankfully, insurance now covers it."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Gemtesa has helped me considerably to ease my overactive bladder. I am now able to sleep better, only getting up 1 to 2 times a night where I was getting up 4-5 times before. The urgency to urinate has subsided also. Able to drive longer distances without having to stop. It considers this medication to be a life changer."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I started taking Gemtesa after I mentioned to the PA that I was having urine leakage on occasion and that I hoped after my treatment for bladder cancer ended that this would stop. She provided me with a prescription for Gemtesa. I have been taking it for three weeks. I have less leakage and no longer wear a pad for protection. I have some comfort to know that eventually I will have control with help from Gemtesa 75mg. I will have to wait to see if this medication provides the help I need because of the short time I have been taking Gemtesa."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I have had urge incontinence for many years. Other medications left me with an extremely dry mouth. So happy to have a medication taken once a day that has helped without any side effects. I would say that it has relieved my problem about 80-90%, which is more than I hoped for."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Gemtesa has been life-changing for me. It works so much better than Myrbetriq. No side effects and no urgency. My gynecologist sends it to a specialty mail-order pharmacy, and I get it for FREE! What a blessing this is. However, sometimes they are slow to send it through the mail, and I cannot function well without this medication. My bladder is not happy without it."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Went on Gemtesa after my doctor took me off Oxybutynin due to the blood-brain barrier issue and it causing dementia and confusion. Tried solifenacin, which didn't work for me at all. Gemtesa was great, was on it for 3 weeks with samples from the doc. Worked perfectly, no side effects at all for me. Unfortunately, with insurance and a coupon from the website, the cost is $95 a month, so this drug is out for me, and we'll see if I have better luck on a 4th option."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Oxybutynin Chloride and similar gave me bad side effects and didn't really work anyway. Gemtesa has been a life-changer. First day I noticed an immediate positive result. Very happy with this as it means I can leave the house for longer periods of time. Don't really notice side effects. I perhaps 'sleep warmer' than before Gemtesa, but I sometimes 'slept too warm' at night anyway. Female, age 74."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "I've had overactive bladder following a TURP procedure to correct an oversized prostate gland. My urologist gave me some physician's samples that lasted for about a month. The results were excellent! I had more control over urination that saved many embarrassing moments. I notified the doctor (Jason Reynolds in Elizabethtown, KY) for a prescription. Bad news! Gemtesa isn't covered under my insurance plan and the cost was $1600. Dr. Reynolds is trying to get a special release of this medication for my condition, but so far no luck. I've used all of the sample stock as of 11/2. My symptoms of incontinence have returned."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "My doctor gave me samples of Gemtesa, and it worked great for my bladder without the horrible dry mouth of the other drug I was on (Oxybutynin). I took it at night before bed. After a week, I woke up with a ringing in my left ear, but it faded after about an hour. The next day, both ears were ringing when I woke up, but it would fade away after a few hours. After a couple of days, both ears were constantly ringing. I told my doctor, and he had me stop taking the drug to see if it cleared up. After a week or so, the ringing quit, but my bladder stayed calm for several weeks. With the remaining samples, I found that I could take one, and it would calm my bladder for a week or longer. I would have stayed on it, taking it as needed, but my insurance doesn't cover it."

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Been taking this now about 2 weeks. So far, I like it, but I am having some of the lesser side effects, such as sinus, phlegm, and coughing issues. Dosage is 75 mg once a day, taken in the mornings. As far as the overactive bladder/incontinence, it's really seemed to help a lot, especially when driving!"

Vibegron for Overactive Bladder "Excellent. Generally take it only when I expect to be out and about for a good part of the day, and it works wonderfully. It reduces the urge and helps you control your normal response if you have urge incontinence."

"Did its job in 3 days to alleviate burning pain at night and decrease frequency of bathroom trips. Became less effective as time went on-2 weeks. Developed sinus infection and worsened osteoarthritis. Seeing doctor to see if she thinks they are unrelated or a result of drug side effect."
