| 1 | Bladder spasms | Flu like symptoms, dry mouth, headaches, mental confusion, lethargy, dry eyes and blurred vision | I have polycystic kidney disease and kidney stones. My urologist initially put me on 5 mg. of Vesicare to control bladder spasms and then increased it to 10 mg. I would rather have the pain of bladder spasms than constantly feeling like I've got the flu and mental confusion. Over the weekend I finally looked at side effects of Vesicare. I called my pharmacist and she said to stop taking drug immediately and call urologist first thing Monday morning. Having surgery on Thursday. | F | 53 | 6 weeks 10 1X day | 8/29/2015 | 1 | Overactive Bladder | Severe dry mouth, dry eyes, violent headaches and excruciating right eye pain and photo-phobia that would last for days. Stopped taking it on a regular basis after 6 weeks due to awful side effects. During that 6 week period I was taking the drug only 3 to 4 times a week due to the side effects. I am already on a lot of medications that dry out my mouth and they are destroying my teeth. With the addition of Vesicare my dentist is frightened I will have a mouth full of cavities and risk losing my teeth. DRY MOUTH IS THE WORSE THING FOR CAUSING CAVITY PRODUCTION!!!! My Pharmacist told me to stop and get an ophthalmology appt. ASAP! | As a Registered nurse who is a specialist in bladder care I have never seen or experienced a drug that had such awful side effects and symptoms in my 30 year career. I quit taking the drug as i was terrified of glaucoma,vascular disease and a mouth full of cavities. I am having to have Veneer's placed on my front teeth due dry mouth. I had to buy prescription tooth paste and all biotene products for dry mouth. FDA needs to pull this drug until more research is done and they have done more clinical trials. It is worth being incontinent instead of risking your health and possibly your sight. Write to the FDA to have this drug pulled off the market. The worst thing is my urologist did know patient education. | F | 55 | 6 weeks 5 mg. 1X day | 12/18/2011 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 5 | Over active bladder | The medicine works but start throwing up, tired, hair lost, sore throat and uncontrol cough them more throwing, no appetite but eat because I have too. | F | 45 | 2 weeks | 11/30/2016 | 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 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 | 2 | Urgent Bladder | My upper sinuses were as DRY as the Mohave Desert. Every time I inhaled through my nose I felt a blinding electrical SHOCK-like pain behind my eyes - OUCH ! | I started on Enablex and that gave me a dried out feeling in my sinuses (come to find out - a MILD dried out feeling), but it helped my urgent bladder. So my doctor had me try Vesicare. OH MY GOD - OUCH. It was like electrical charges going off behind my eyes when I inhaled. I was SOOOO dried out it felt like every nerve in my upper sinuses was exposed. I couldn't standit. So I went back to Enablex - and compared to Vesicare - Enablex was easy to live with (and it worked). | F | 52 | 2 weeks Lowest 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 1 | bladder fullness, pain, and urgency | stomach cramps, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, sharp pain in bladder | I started on Vesicare after a bladder dilation to help relieve extreme and painful fullness in my bladder. It made me very sick, did not offer any relief for the condition. I was switched to Sanctura and have had marked improvement. | F | 57 | 2 weeks 1X day | 5/27/2010 | 1 | bladder control | swelling, caused angio-edema (Anaphylactic reaction) which made my lips, tongue, and throat swell where I could not breathe. I had taken a pill before going to sleep, and the doctors said if I had not had a phone call that woke me up, I would have died in my sleep. I was admitted to hospital for 3 days. | I would NEVER want someone to take this med. It was given as a sample by a urologist. If I had researched the internet I would have seen (example WebMD and other sites) "Some side effects with VESICARE, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include but are not limited to: Severe constipation, Worsening of glaucoma, Difficulty passing urine, Confusion, Depression, Signs of an allergic reaction, such as unexplained rash, hives, itching, wheezing, and unexplained swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing." NONE of this was on the insert with the med, or on the TV ads! I almost died from this drug! | F | 56 | 2 weeks | 9/25/2009 | 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 | Overactive bladder | Urine retention been self cathing for 8 weeks since stopping vesicare | F | 52 | 46 days 5 | 8/24/2018 | 3 | Overactive bladder | Dry mouth and sinuses. A feeling of burning in my mouth and tongue, as if scalded, but not the case. Only possible cause is the drug. | Worked wonders on bladder problems but side effects are very concerning so I am going to stop taking. | F | 56 | 45 days 5 | 6/15/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 4 | incontinence | Extreme headaches and dried out sinusse (bleeding at times) | F | 52 | 10 days 5mg | 2/22/2014 |
