I have had no bladder spasms since starting it 1 mo ago. | F | 37 | 1 days 4mg | 7/16/2015 | 3 | 2 months 4 mg 1X day | 3/25/2013 | 5 | over active bladder | The only side effect is dry eyes and mouth | I use to get up 15 times a night and was so tired the next day and all through the day I would run to the bathroom every half hour and would leak not being able tto hold it in, now I only get up once sometimes not even this drug has saved my life and sanity I would recommend this to anyone. | F | 45 | 1 years 4mg 1X day | 11/7/2011 | 5 | stress incontinence, leakage | drymouth | So far so good. My underwear are actually dry for the first time in a very long time. Only complaint is drymouth. I was constantly wetting myself a little bit throughout the day..when I coughed or sometimes for no reason other than having the "urge" at inconvenient times. | F | 38 | 5 days 4mg 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 5 | Overactive Bladder | No side effects, even after 3 years on the drug. I take the 4mg dose. My frequency of urination has dropped from every hour or so to about 4-5 hours apart...this is a huge improvement in my quality of life. I also no longer need panty liners. | I recommend this drug. I recognize that there are others on the market that serve the same purpose. If Detrol causes side effects for you, consult your doctor and try a different medication. No one should have to suffer from overactive bladder. | F | 60 | 3 years | 12/21/2009 | 5 | Frequent Nightime Urination | I've only been taking it two weeks and I notice my right eye twitches every now and again. | This has been a life saver for me. I used to be so tired during the day because I'd wake anywhere from 3 to 15 times a night. No matter how much I limited my liquids, caffiene, you name it. I was at the mercy of my bladder. Now I only wake 1 time a night. I feel so much better because I can get a good nights sleep. | F | 39 | 2 weeks | 10/24/2009 | 4 | Interstitial Cystitis / PBS | Bowel irregularity, some fatigue, dry mouth | Despite one or two uncomfortable side effects, Detrol has improved my quality of life immensely. I used to have to pee about once an hour throughout the day - sometimes as frequently as once every 30 minutes for hours on end. After about a week, I noticed a substantial drop in my trips to the bathroom. After two weeks, I was peeing with normal/average frequency. It also helped cut down on bladder pain. Both my mother and aunt suffer from IC as well, and neither can tolerate Detrol - they get skin rashes and feel overly restless. I would recommend at least trying it - it's made my work and social life SO MUCH BETTER. | F | 26 | 2 years | 4/7/2009 | 4 | Frequency & urethral spasms | Dry mouth, especially upon waking. | Although it has not gotten rid of 100% of the frequency, discomfort and spasms, I only now have problems a few times a month (better than everyday). Although the medication tends to wear off by late afternoon/early evening (so getting to sleep is sometimes hard when the drug hasn't kicked in). | F | 22 | 6.5 months | 1/19/2009 | 5 | Bladder spasms and urgency | The first few weeks dry mouth and sinus. It did take a few days before it kicked in and took the feeling of always having to run to the bathroom away. | I have been on this medication for almost a year. Even though it is a bit pricey even with my insurance covering some, I will continue. I was miserable. I would get up 5-6 times a night to use the bathroom. Now it is once a night. | F | 45 | 11 months | 12/2/2007 | 5 | urge intolerance | I started taking this drug a long time ago (about 5-6 years) so I do not remember any side effects I may have had. But they could not have been significant side effects or I would have noticed/remembered. | There are still times when I have to go frequently or badly but they are not as constant as before I was on Detrol. Even when I REALLY have to go, I don't feel like I'm going to have an accident like I did before Detrol. This medication has made a significant improvement in the quality of my life. | F | 44 | 5 years | 11/26/2007 | 3 | Overactive bladder and pain | Dry mouth, drowsiness, fatigue | This medicine seems to be working, but I'm not really happy with the dry mouth. I take it at night but I wake up so tired, it ruins anything I had planned to do later that day. I still get occasional pains in my bladder still. I'm still getting up to pee at night at least twice. | F | 25 | 8 days | 7/19/2007 | 1 | urination frequency and urgency | Severe back aches started after 3 weeks of slight back aches. Caused discontinuation. Dr was unfamiliar with that side effect but I found mention of this on internet under patient education for detrol. Dry mouth only a slight problem. Possible fatigue | Kept track of frequency. No change and still often bouts of urgency. Side effects no problem until 4th week. This drug may work for others, just not me | M | 60 | 35 days | 4/26/2007 | 2 | urge incontinence | Extreme dry eyes and throat. So dry that I could not function through a normal day. I had to stop taking the medication. | It did work for the incontinence - it was great. But I could not tolerate the dryness. My doctor told me that some people can just not tolerate anticholinergics. | F | 36 | 30 days | 3/21/2007 | 5 | Lifetime bladder control, worsening | I have had bladder control problems since a child, aggravated with stress. At one particular stressful time in my mid-twenties, my bladder shrank to the size of a pea (according to the uralogist who saved my life) and who conditioned my bladder to the point I have lived relatively normally for forty-some years. With age, and hypertension meds which relax the entire system, have come back some pretty serious bladder control problems. | About a year ago,I mentioned my leaky valve situation at my annual OB/Gyn visit and my dr. gave me a sample of Detrol-LA. My bladder is the most comfortable it has ever been in my entire life! I've been taking it for about a year and I absolutely swear by it. My dr. said some women just take it when they anticipate a difficult period (vacation, etc.) I take one each morning and live virtually carefree. Do still wear a very small lightday pad for security purposes. I highly recommend Detrol-LA to anyone with a leaky valve or worse... How I would have loved to have had it in my early life.. | F | 70 | 1 years | 11/26/2006 | 4 | bladder control | none | F | 38 | 2 years | 11/8/2006 | 5 | bladder control issues | Uncomfortably dry mouth with 4 mg. which largely went away when switched to 2 mg. | I am amazed at how well this drug works. After having bladder control "issues" for about ten years, I finally spoke to my doctor. No more damp panty liners! | F | 59 | 3 years | 3/27/2006 |
