Just made peeing incredibly painful and led to hideously painful uti. | F | 43 | 7 days 10 | 8/22/2018 | 1 | OAB and leaking urine | I had a bad headache for 3 days and extremely dry mouth could hardly swallow when I woke in morning. My hair is so damaged I’m going to need to have it cropped! Also memory problems and depression. | It stopped my anti depressants working and I kept breaking down in tears. I’ve never experienced side effects on any other drug!! | F | 48 | 1 months 5mg | 6/13/2018 | 1 | over active bladder | Painful UTI's. Unable to get rid of them even after taking 7 courses of antibiotics. Had to be referred to a urologist. | Too many side effects to justify taking this medication | F | 80 | 2 months 5mg 1X day | 10/25/2017 | 1 | IC | THIS MEDICINE IS A NIGHTMARE!!! It sent me to the hospital with the most severe abdominal pain of my life! I had to go in an ambulance, as I couldn't even drive as a result of SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAIN. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE! THE "SIDE EFFECTS" ARE SEVERE AND HORRIFICALLY PAINFUL.😣 | F | 47 | 2 weeks 5mg | 4/24/2017 | 1 | O.a.b | Severe dizieness | M | 53 | 4 days 5 mg | 3/26/2017 | 1 | Bladder spasms | Severe stomach pain. Loss of appetite. Nausea | F | 57 | 10 days 5 mg | 12/21/2016 | 1 | OAB | Bad memory & decision-making + URTICARIA = really itchy spots for 10 weeks! | (Age 40, no children) I started taking Vesicare in April and it helped with the urgency after years of struggling, but in September, I started noticing bad memory and bad decision-making + an onslaught of incredibly itchy wheals - red raised extremely itchy pea-sized spots on arms, chest & back. Stopped taking Vesicare immediately, but symptoms continue until now - December! I get about 5 new itchy spots per day, driving me crazy. Was prescribed strong ANTI-HISTAMINES in November, but that seems to have made URGENCY SUDDENLY WORSE, now having to wear incontinence pads, but nothing is bringing down the spots, still new ones appearing and lasting for average 5 days, extremely itchy, and leaving scars, even though I'm really trying not to scratch them. (Finally found a homeopathic tincture that works really well to immediately calm the itch, called "Anti Bite"!) even though most people don't think they are bites. Been to 4 GPs, had lots of blood tests including auto-immune tests, all came back normal, no-one seems to know what it is! So I forked out £150 for a private Dermatologist (as I am due to travel to India for 6 weeks later in December and needed to know if I was safe to go!) - he tested me for House Dust Mites and I came up seriously positive for that, so he concluded it was that, and called it Urticaria, but couldn't identify what triggered it - so I had thought it's the build-up of Vesicare solifenacin - and yet it hasn't abated in 3 months since | F | 40 | 5 months 5 1X day | 12/4/2016 | 1 | overactive bladder | irregular heart rhythm, blurred vision, dry eyes, dry mouth | On the 4th day of taking this drug, I experienced extremely irregular heart rhythm my doctor said was from vesicare; but I do also have autonomic instability. I got blurred vision on day 1, which I still have 3 days after stopping the medication. I also got very dry eyes and dry mouth. My doctor took me off the medicine for these reasons. However, it did dramatically help frequency and urgency. I wish it would have worked for me; but I am now trying something else. | F | 46 | 4 days 5 mg 1X day | 9/14/2016 | 1 | Over active bladder | Dry mouth. Blurred vision, foggy brain, feeling sick and cold like symptoms. | I had to stop this medication as it dried my mouth out that much it left sores all in my mouth and my tongue swoll up. Felt depressed and the foggy brain was awful. Confusion and problems with my memory as well as head aches. I wish the doctor had of explained these side effects before hand. Haven't took a tablet in 4 days and I feel loads better already and my mouth has cleared up and appetite slowly returning. If you are like me and get side affects from tables don't take these. | F | 31 | 3 weeks 5mg | 6/21/2016 | 1 | Overactive Bladder with pain | Although Vesicare did stop the bladder pain it did not stop me from running to the bathroom 15-20 times in a 24 hour period. Within 48 hours of starting this medicine I saw swelling in my knees, legs, thighs, feet, ankles, arms, and hands. I stopped taking it three days ago and I've noticed that my lips and face are now swollen. This is really scary! | I'm really happy for those that are having great success with Vesicare, but for me this is a nightmare. | F | 43 | 6 days 5 MG | 5/12/2016 | 1 | Urge Incontinence | Although the medication helped initially, the side effects were unbearable. Increasingly alarming blurred and double vision, dry mouth, dry eyes, dry skin, extremely chapped lips, headaches, memory issues, constipation. After eye exams, the opthalmologist expressed concerns with some shadowy places on my eyes, as well as my complaints about recent blurry vision. I stopped taking the medication and hope that my eye issues can be resolved. | This medication produced unbearable side effects. Initially dry mouth and eyes, constipation, headaches, progressed into memory issues, unbearable dry lips and skin, blurry and double vision. Finally, after eye exams when the doctor expressed concern about some showy place in eyes, I did more research and discontinued this medicine. It is horrible and should be reevaluated. Perhaps because the majority of people taking this medicine are women, drug companies think complaints of side effects are insignificant. | F | 63 | 2 months 10 mg 1X day | 2/17/2016 | 1 | Overactive Bladder | Extremely nauseous, headaches and migraines, extreme dry mouth, excessive thirst, dizziness, more tired than usual, dry eyes, dry sinuses, vivid and terrifying nightmares. | I tried it thinking it was a bladder med. What could go wrong. Didn't research. BIG mistake. Am stopping this drug immediately even though it has been nice not to have to use the restroom continually. It just isn't worth the side effects. And I am terrified to go to sleep. | F | 51 | 1 months 10mg | 11/6/2015 | 1 | Dry mouth, dizzy, headache, scratchy throat, tired and dragging | I AM almost into this about a week no noticeable change in overactive bladder.Is it worth sticking out when I feel crappy! | F | 55 | 6 days | 10/21/2015 | 1 | OAB and mild leakage | Dry mouth so severe that I felt as though a layer of skin had been removed. Very graspy memory, headache, kidney ache, bladder contraction pain, sore dry throat, fatigue, dry skin, dry eyes, reduced perspiration. I could go on.... | I would avoid this like the plague, I would rather the inconvenience of wearing pads and the frequent toilet visits than to stay on this awful medication a day longer | F | 47 | 6 weeks 5mg 1X day | 10/12/2015 |
