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...
I started taking this for bladder problems but soon realised that it stopped me from sweating which being a menapausel 56 year old was a god send. It made me feel clean

It helped some but I can't go into a meeting over 1 hour without sever urgency. I still get up at night. Flomax was added recently and my symptoms have gotten worse! What a nightmare (3+ times nightly) OAB is.

does anyone know if a side effect of this drug causes weight gain. I found that when I stopped taking it my weight stayed the same. and when I started taking it again, I gained weight. just wanted to see if it effected anyone else this way.

I have great results with the urinary issues but it does make my ankles and legs swell. cutting back on dose is my next step as i am house bound without it i need to check with dr to determine if this is a dangerous effect

I have an overactive bladder, and need to urinate immediately, also urine leakage when I have a strong need to void and don't even make it to the doorway of the bathroom. My Dr. has prescribed many different prescription medications for my conditions, without much luck. So... he said there was one last one that he thought just might work, and the Ditropan has helped with everything except the urgency. Perhaps with time that will get better also.

Unfortunately, this medication did not work for me. I actually made my bladder spasm more frequently. I also experienced dry mouth and dry eyes as side effects. My dosage might not be higher enough, but I am still trying to find a treatment that relieves my OAB.

I love it. Although I'm Rx'ed for 3x in 24 hours, I take only one before bedtime and it has ended bathroom trips downstairs. And with no side effects whatever.

does have annoying side effects: dry mouth, trouble swallowing on any dose higher than 1/x day, dry nose. Does have one unexpected great benefit-stopped my hot flashes which I have 15-20 times/day.

This medication when taken with the other medication the Dr has me on made me very hyperactive and raised my BP up a little. I stopped taking this medicine and I was fine.

I was having painful urination and frequent urination. I also found out when you don't have any homones in your body it can cause bladder problems. I only take this medication when needed. I take Vagifem for Vaginal dryness. I don't care for the dry mouth. Over all I don't like to take medications I think it helps!

Have had no problems except my eye's get a little dry..(I wear contacts) but over all I am satisfied and no "accidents" I take this in the morning, because I'm with clients all day and don't have time to worry about making it to the ladies room
