I take this medicine once a day in the morning. I have had no accidents and only minor leakage incidents since starting the medicine. Previously I had accidents frequently when the urge to go was immediate and experienced leakage all the time. I constantly had to wear liners and when I had an immediate urge that wasn't enough. I no longer have to get up several times a night either. Previously I w...

even though the Dr said it wouldn't do this: Started with constipation for a few days then had massive lower GI pain with uncontrollable diarreah (in a public place, happened twice in 10 day period.) Dizziness and nausea also a problem. Makes bladder incontinence seems like a preferable situation. man, this was more like taking poison. Middle ages kind of thing.

It made me feel so sick! Besides being perpetually thirsty, I felt like I had the flu. I didn't notice if it worked because I was so sick and just didn't care. Once I stopped taking it I was fine. But still am getting up 5-6 times a night. :(

I noticed a dry mouth (which I noticed is common), but also slower swallowing - often I had to be careful when eating as food would take a while to travel down my throat.

No side effects except a dry mouth. Cost of this generic went from $27 for 90 days to $99 for 90 days. This happened within 1 90 day period of time.

Problems resulting from radiation treatment for PCa, had difficulty making it to the toilet, which can be embarrassing when you travel a lot. Dr. recommended during radiation treatment and it worked quite effectively. Have had to increase dosage recently to 20 mg/day, but still works. Do suffer dry mouth and have to drink water while eating, but I can live with that. No other problems.

This drug caused the ugliest rash imaginable. It took two full years and numerous dermatologist visits to get rid of it.

I take 5mg's every 4-6 hours but still wet the bed in the mornings sometimes; about 2-3 times a week. How much can I take a day and I know I can tell my doctor but he's a VA doctor and they change all the time. I need to know how much I can take a day before I see him this May 31st, on my appt. day. Thank you for your assist. I'm 60 years old and weigh about 255 lbs. As I said earlier, I take 20 mg's a day now.

While it does not always work, it helps enough that I have a life again. Am I imaging it or has it reduced the number of headaches I get?
