Very Dry Mouth. Once or twice I was eating a muffin or bread product early in the morning and I had difficulty swallowing. it was almost like I had no saliva to wash it down and it stuck to the back of my tongue. Also, I have developed a rash on the back of my arms. I am checking to see if it is related to the medication. Aside from these issues, I have had wonderful results from the medicati...

It really works! I tried it for 5 days and what a relief. The side effects were too many and had to stop (for now). Hopefully, I'll be able to try it again.

I experienced immediate improvement after having a very overactive bladder--having to change clothing 2 to 3 times a day due to inability to contain urge to urinate before using toilet. I am so pleased with my response to Enablex and will continue to take it daily!

Very pleased with this medication. I wish it was a little cheaper. It has a high co-pay. Def worth it! It does give me heartburn.

I scanned all the reviews. So here is the result. Based on the data presented here by people who have taken, and are taking this medicine, apparently this drug works better, and with less negative side effects on male individuals than females. I am leaning toward this idea, that most likely the makers of this drug had male problems on their mind than females. Don't you think so?

I was using Detrol LA, but plan no longer pays for it. Doc put me on Enablex about 3 weeks ago. Working well for the urinary problem, but constipation and dry mouth are almost as bad as the uninary problem. Going to look for some other answers.

This is the 4th drug I've been on - Detrol LA was the best but stopped working after 6 mos. This drug after 2 days has me so binded up that I have been taking prune juice (1/2) bottle to un-do the problem. Will stopped taking today. Don't know what to do now.

My son is trying this med because detrol changed his behavior so much. He takes this in the am to help control leaking. He has no bladder control and actual has an AMS 800 implant. He takes meds at night so he can pee in the am and this so he can control himslef at school. He can not void at all, just dribbles and and is having back pain. Also, can see some behavior change but not as bad as detrol. We are going to discontinue.

It somewhat works. Not as well as I had hoped. I take it 2 hrs before bedtime and stop all liquids before that. I still get up several times a night to pee and must pee before I do anything where a bathroom is not available or I need to stay in the room or car. It doesn't work well for everyone and I'm one of those people.
