Everyone should be taking fiber supplements while taking Detral La. This medication can cause chronic constipation. Drink plenty of water. Detral La completely ruined my life.

This has worked great for my little girl, she was unable to even go to school when her symptoms were at their worst. She is now leading a normal life. However, she has been on it for 6 months now and her side effects are weight gain, sore legs especially at night and I have noticed bruising, not sure if this is related. Going to try and reduce the dosage and see what happens.

I've been on this drug for probably 6 years and all of a sudden I began to have back pain everyday. I quit taking it and the pain went away. When I restarted it, I once again had back pain. I truly belive it was from the medicine.

Comment:
My problem got worse and I had to go more often. I was drosey, my entire body was dry and the more water I drank the more I had to go (5-6 times a night and 10 -12 times before noon). Took it for 2 weeks and had to discontinue.
