Everyone should be taking fiber supplements while taking Detral La. This medication can cause chronic constipation. Drink plenty of water. Detral La completely ruined my life.

From the day I started on this med my urine has had a very strong amonia smell. This has not happened before this med. Has anyone had this side effect?

After four months of taking this medication, I still have the same symptoms for which it was prescribed: frequent urination; urine leakage; needing to urinate immediately.

I have been on detrol for approx. 4 months and while it does help leakage problems...side effects are sometimes hard to deal with. Dry eye/aching eyes...particularly bad at night when driving. Also have dry mouth, which is tolerable. Some problems with exhaustion and have noticed lately that my hair is falling out quite substantially, particularly when washed and dryed...does anyone else have this side effect. I have always had very thick, healthy hair...never had much hairloss at all until about 3 weeks into the detrol. Read More Read Less

Detrol stopped the 'accidents' immediately, but had a problem with rapid heartbeat for a week. Now that has gone away. Before Detrol, I was miserale getting up every two hours at night, using depends and all kinds of pads, but still wet myself several times a night and sometimes during the day.

Taken Detrol for years - worked initially - over last few years gradually symptoms worsened. Without it, lots of incontinence issues - but tired of dealing with it, will probalby opt for the surgery

I have been on this medication for about 3 weeks now and am very satisfied with it. It has stopped the "got to go right now" feeling and leakiness. The only 2 side effects I have with it is being very sleepy after taking it, I have conquered that by making sure that I keep moving after I take it. The other is the dry mouth. I just have been chewing more gum and drinking more. Hoping that it continues to be so effective and that there are no other long term side effects.
