5 | urgency/frequent urination | Some dry mouth. | Started out taking 5 milligrams but wasn't tolerating it well. Cut back to 2.5 milligrams (one half tablet). I have my life back. I don't have to urinate every hour and I am sleeping through the night again. | M | 59 | 3 months 2.5 mg 1X day | 2/26/2012 | 2 | OAB | Dry mouth and loss of taste | Helped with OAB but side effects were too much to bear. | M | 65 | 14 days 10 1X day | 6/27/2021 | 1 | Over active bladder | Immediate eye pain, dry mouth and erectile dysfunction. | I cannot recommend this drugs to other males of my age. | M | 50 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/17/2014 | 1 | To alleviate frequency and urgency. | extreme dry mouth. blurry vision in one eye. erectile dysfunction. | This seems to be a very dangerous and toxic drug. The side effects are extensive and intensive. I would not recommend that anyone take this pharmaceutical without doing a great deal of research first. | M | 72 | 4 weeks 10 MG | 6/24/2015 | 1 | Urgent and frequent urination. | Muscular weakness and cramps. Feelings of agitation. Dizziness. Fatigue. Blurred vision. | Whatever the positive values of Vesicare may offer, the offsetting negative side effects more than cancel them out. A very powerful drug that can cause more harm than good in those who are sensitive to it. In my opinion, it would be prudent for the FDA to reevaluate the efficacy and dangers of Vesicare, and, perhaps, order another set of studies before continuing to permit its widespread distribution. | M | 74 | 6 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 6/26/2015 | 1 | O.a.b | Severe dizieness | M | 53 | 4 days 5 mg | 3/26/2017 | 5 | OAB | Dry mouth and blurred vision.

(Others were: Detrol LA, and oxybutinine (or something like that) Both did not help at all and I could not hold my pee. Vesicare is extremely helpful and has not lost its effectiveness like the Detrol did after about a year. | F | 47 | 3 years | 10/7/2015 | 5 | Over active bladder | Just a dry mouth | Having had bladder and bowel prolapse repair surgery I was at my wits end with the need to urinate so frequently.I was waking at least 5 times a night for a wee and my life was affected during the day by the need to be near a toilet.I no longer have the urgency to wee and I have a life! | F | 60 | 30 days 5mg 1X day | 3/20/2016 | 5 | giggling bladder | I love this product.I have my life back. I have always lost all my bladder control as soon as I have laughed. I am 50 and this has been happening since I was 14. I have had cancer and I have been through worse. A dry mouth is helped by a teaspoon if coconut oil swirled in my mouth and spit it out before going to bed. I have my life back and I am so confident when I laugh I love my life so much. Thank you for this. Dry mouth is only minor compared to walking around wet and leaving venues because I have leaked. | F | 50 | 3 months 5mg | 8/17/2014 | 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 | 5 | Interstitial cystitis | None and it stopped the symptoms of bladder infect I was having almost constantly. | I think it is great | F | 69 | 8 months 5 mg 1X day | 1/23/2015 | 5 | over active bladder | None... It has worked very well for me | F | 26 | 2 years 10mg | 8/26/2012 | 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 | OAB | Dry mouth, constipation, episodic confusion. And hair loss--see Additional Comments | I experienced a LOT of individual hair fall-out, about 50 when brushing it, and individual hairs falling out throughout the day. I thought it was "just me", but when I discontinuted taking the Vesicare b/c it stopped working (as all OAB meds seem to do eventually) I realized after a while that the hair fall-out had stopped. Vesicare had worked VERY well for so long--the best of them all. I would accept all the SE if only it had continued to work for me. | F | 75 | 10 mg 1X day | 12/25/2022 | 4 | Bladder problems | Dry mouth which can be aleviated by taking BIOTENE | I am losing my hair - could it be the Vesicare? | F | 86 | 3 months 5mm 1X day | 5/4/2012 | 4 | Bladder leakage | Dry mouth, hair thinning and loss/ memory loss? | Have been taking this for 1 yr daily. At 62, not certain if symptoms are as a result of the med or age. Forgetfulness, trouble with words. Worse is am losing my hair rapidly and the dry mouth. Notice also that my taste is impaired. Have lost appetite as well provably due to taste decreased. But no one else expressed this. I may take it upon myself to reduce from every day to every other day. | F | 62 | 1 years 5 mg 1X day | 12/6/2014 | 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 | 4 | bladder control | Vesicare helped to cut down on trips to the bathroom. But after a couple weeks using it, I had very bad constipation which I don't normally have. I had to stop using it so often. | F | 57 | 2 weeks | 8/13/2009 |
