 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  OAB, urgency Really none if taken with food It is the best drug that I have tried for the pesky need to urinate suddenly and immediately. (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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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  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
