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 | 1 | Over Active Bladder | Dry Mouth-dizzyness-confusion-unable to think or speak clearly-eye pain- | Worst product ever-would not recommend to anyone. Stopped after nine days. | F | 81 | 9 days 5mg 1X day | 6/25/2015 | 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 | 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 | 3 | Urgency and frequency due to uti. | Heartburn, loss of appetite,dry mouth, extreme lethargy. | Vesicare definitely solved my urgency/frequency problem very quickly but the side effects were unpleasant. My GP only prescribed it for one month and I felt immediately better. | F | 74 | 1 months 5mg | 9/12/2016 | 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 | 2 | OAB | Horrible constipation dry mouth stomach pain dizziness | F | 73 | 7 days 5 mg 1X day | 3/19/2023 | 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 | Over active bladder | Progressive hair loss, practically bald. Lots of UTl Short term memory loss. No words recall. Blurred vision. | Only recently connected these various symptoms to Vesicare. Did any of you recover hair/ memory after stopping V? | F | 70 | 10 years 5mg | 5/30/2020 | 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 | 1 | OAB | Stomach pains in stomach and back. Loss of appetite constipation sickness headach. Confusion and forgetfulness Fast heartbeart. Didn't even help my oab!!!! | Should be discontinued it's a dangerous drug to many. | F | 68 | 1 months 5ng 1X day | 7/29/2022 | 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 | Overactive bladder | Hair loss dry throat dementia like symptoms | F | 65 | 6 months 5mg | 1/31/2020 | 3 | over active bladder | Great to start with has slowed down the amount i run to the bathroom, but crocky throught, burning eyes, now vision is getting blurred and worst of all confusion. I forget words, put things down and have no memory of where i put them | it says in the info i have found 83% of people over 60 get confusion with this drug, would have been nice to have been told this before i started to stress out i might have dementia. Now what do i do ? stop it and go through hell with my bladder or as like i am 90+ and have lost my mind. | F | 64 | 3 months 1X day | 10/25/2012 | 2 | Overactive bladder | Dry mouth fatigue dry eyes | I initially took 5mg but they did not stop my overactive bladder..there were no side effects with 5mg. My gp started me on 10mg. This is my third day on 10mg and I have side effects as described above plus now my breathing seems to be affected. I dont feel good so will not be taking anymore of the 10mg. My gp will probably say to give it a bit longer but I dont think I can tolerate the adverse side effects. I will go back on 5mg because the vesicare eased the pain I had in my pelvic/bladder region. | F | 64 | 9 days 5mg & 10mg | 12/9/2015 | 1 | Overactive bladder | Serious confusion, also dry mouth & blurred vision. Helped some with OAB but not much | I am now taking a naturopathic remedy based on pumpkin seeds called Azo Helps in a very mild, gentle sort of way. No noticeable side effects. | F | 64 | 2 years | 8/13/2015 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Overactive bladder | Blurry vision some headaches,tingling fingers on right hand, extremely dry and stuffy nose,dry eyes,extremely dry mouth. | F | 62 | 3 weeks 5mg. | 9/23/2014 | 4 | Overactive bladder, nocturia | Mild nausea, low mood, blurry vision | It took a few weeks for my body to get used to this drug. I find taking it before bed is best time. Definitely helps in that I take less trips to loo during night and day. Still get leakages when sneezing / coughing sometimes. Overall, drug has been worth taking. Currently contemplating come off for a while as nausea an issue, what with still having to work. | F | 61 | 3 years 5mg od | 3/14/2015 |
