For Overactive Bladder: I've been on it now for 7 days the heart burn is bad, a little dry mouth, my frequency is slowed down a bit gonna stay on it fir a lil while longer. Sometimes I pee a lil more, somedays less but thats my anxiety that triggers it to as my nerves are a lil on edge but - thats just me. I'm hoping in time it does help me .... |
6.0
For Overactive Bladder: Suffered urge incontinence for over 40 years. Now 77. Pelvic floor exercises as advised by G.P. did not work and incontinence (mild) and frequency especially at night was an increasing problem. Saw consultant who prescribed Solifenacin and the improvement after a month is good- get up once a night instead of 3-4 times so sleep better. Problem is side effects! Dry mouth and nasal passage not really a problem but blurred vision and being dazzled by bright sun, car headlights when driving, plus some cognitive deterioration and constipation is proving a bit of a worry. Not sure if I will carry on long term. For Overactive Bladder: Vesicare increased the amount my bladder could hold from 300 cc's to 450 cc's, a significant improvement. |

For Overactive Bladder: I have been taking 5mg oxybutynin twice a day for about a month now for my overactive bladder. I’m 55. I have sporadic stomach pain, bloating, dry mouth, dry eyes. I’m concerned about the stomach pain and wonder if I should stop taking the medicine. It has helped me going from 6 trips to the bathroom to about 3. Any feedback about my stomach pain is appreciated.
