| 5 | | 8/25/2008 | 3 | Because I wanted to go to toilet frequently | Dry mouth. At times it worked then all of a sudden did the opposite and started again with over active bowel | 1 years 5 mg | 12/27/2015 | 3 | Freqency/Urgency associated with IC | some dry mouth, constipation, takes a long time to pee...And I mean a long time. | I guess it's helped a little with my frequency/urgency I was going ALOT. Now it's just kind of annoying that it takes forever to pee. It's just really slow..and seems like I pee more each time..And like even when Im done I still have to go. | F | 22 | 1 months | 8/30/2008 | 5 | Overactive bladder | I first started on Detrol LA and was having severe drymouth and heart palpitations. I was then taken off those and put on vesicare. I've been on it for 3 weeks now, side effect free. The first few days I had it, I noticed drymouth and dry eyes again, pretty bad but subsided after 3 days or so. No other side effects to report, and now I pee 2 times a day instead of the usual 30. Its a tad more expensive than Detrol la, but with no side effects after my body adjusted to the pills, vesicare is where I'm staying. :) | F | 24 | 3 weeks 5mgs | 11/30/2011 | 5 | over active bladder | None... It has worked very well for me | F | 26 | 2 years 10mg | 8/26/2012 | 2 | OAB | At first, I did not experience any side effects, and this was the only medicine that helped my OAB. This was very effective in curing my OAB which had been severe prior to me using this medication, and other medications did not work at all. However, over the past year, I have started to have memory issues and word recall issues and am only 30 years old. I wasn't sure what could be causing this, but I recently read an article that this medication can cause dementia/ memory loss. I have stopped taking it immediately and am looking for other options. I hope the memory problems stop but am not optimistic (given what I have read). I wish I would have had this information initially as I never would have taken this. | F | 30 | 4 years 10 | 6/7/2016 | 2 | Urinary frequency | Terrible headache, flu like symptoms, pain in legs, nausea, chest discomfort. | F | 31 | 3 days 5mg | 10/19/2013 | 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 | 2 | Urinary Incontinence | Mood changes (anxious/angry/depressed/flat), dry mouth, blurred vision, itchy skin (especially ankles and feet despite constantly moisturizing), fatigue, zero sexual interest | Just not worth the side effects for the minimal benefit, doctor wanted to go up to 10mg and I said no. | F | 35 | 30 days 5mg 1X day | 3/27/2021 | 3 | Irritable bladder (post surgery) | I was given this as PRN for irritable bladder (damaged during gynae surgery), which was giving me frequency, urgency and pain. Apparently it tones the bladder muscle and sphincter. I didn't have any problems on it per se, but I was only using it as PRN. | Apparently new mothers are prescribed this. | F | 36 | 1X day | 4/8/2014 | 4 | Overactive Bladder | At first I developed I have a rash across my chest and then a week later across my forehead. Not sure if it is an allergic reaction. I've never had these issues until I took this medication. Ocassional blurry vision. | Overall it works and I don't have to run to the restroom every 10 to 15 minutes. But with the rashes, I may have to discontinue. | F | 37 | 2 weeks 5mg | 6/3/2016 | 4 | Bladder spasms and frequent urine | Constipation was really bad, and some dizziness. | I would try it again because it really helped with the spasms and having to go a lot. I could go out to eat or shop and not have to go to the bathroom like I normally would - once or twice. | F | 38 | 4 months | 4/3/2009 | 5 | Urgency frequency and leakage | Flu like, Nassau, confusion, dry mouth, tired | Worked great but had to stop due to brutal side-effects | F | 39 | 4 weeks 20 | 11/10/2014 | 1 | OAB | Next to chemo- one of the worst meds I've taken! Disappointing- I had high hopes for this drug but instead of alleviating my bladder problems it produced more. I can't wait for it to leave my system, I've never been thirstier. I feel like someone shoved a fist full of sand down my throat. Now I really appreciate the doctor giving me samples instead of the hassle & expense of the Rx. My eyes are so dry & I'm so exhausted. I actually feel like I smoked a joint w/o any of the fun benefits. I could drink a gallon of water & not quench my thirst. Why would they put this Rx on the market. I wish they would require pharm reps to try their own samples. This Rx should be reconsidered for sale. | F | 39 | 3 days 5 mg | 1/12/2012 | 5 | bladder spasms | Just takes a long time to pee. I feel like I am sitting on the toilet for hours. | I really like to way it works. I don't have to run to the toilet every 30 minutes. It also took away the spasms I was having in my bladder. I have IBS so I guess bladder spasms go with the IBS. I really like it when I go places like shopping, eating out because I don't have to go as much. I used to hate that. I had to be near a bathroom no matter where I went. | 40 | 2 years 5 mg 1X day | 11/29/2010 | 3 | urge incontinence and nocturia | Fatigue,dizzy dry mouth slight nausea | F | 40 | 1 months 10 mg | 8/23/2014 | 3 | Overactive Bladder - occasional | Very bad nightmares each time I took it. | It really helped with overactive bladder. I take Vesicare as needed so altogether I have taken approx 25 pills over the last 6-9 months. | F | 40 | 9 months | 7/11/2009 | 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 | 3 | Oab | Recently blurred vision headaches still bladder problem (worse) | F | 41 | 10 years 10mg | 2/22/2013 | 1 | possible interstitail cystitis | Panic attacks the first night--felt like I had trouble breathing--Horrible fatigue--vivid nightmares--constipation dry mouth I can handle anything but the panic attacks its been 10 years since I had one. | I went into taking this very blithely--not a care in the world about side effects..I mean come on its a bladder med right??? Wow was I wrong--first horrible panic attack I've had in years and three days in a row--MAYBE there should be more warnings on the bottle--I didn't read on the web about side effects until AFTER I had them --so I didn't imageine them--would not take this medicine again. | F | 41 | 3 days 5 1X day | 6/12/2010 |
