User Reviews for Enablex oral

ALL I CAN SAY IS I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOOOOOOOOOOO CONSTIPATED IN MY LIFE! Should not be prescribed for oab as the more constipated you are the more incontinent you become according to the urology literature.

I have been taking 15mg for approx two years now, and seem to have some relief of symptoms of over active bladder. The cramping has stopped, however, I have had considerable weight gain (about 50lbs since starting the medication), dry mouth, memory loss, depression and fatigue. I don’t seem to know I need to empty my bladder until it’s to the point where I am busting at the seams, then it’s urgent and some leakage may happen. I have also had to have a pelvic sling to help with the issue. I’m starting to wonder if this medication is worth it. Last time I spoke with my urologist, she said to keep taking the medication and did not wish to change it. Wondering what the risks are if I were to discontinue on my own. Read More Read Less

Doctor put me on 4mg Flomax at first. Didn`t work after a couple of days. Still getting up 2-3x during the night. Then tried Enablex 7.5. Terrible side effects. Headaches/major swelling of the legs and feet/ dry mouth/ forgetfullness. Stopped the medication.

I just started taking Enablex three days ago and I dont know if I have to wait till it gets into my system? But I still have the urgency to go and when I try to very little comes out. I hope that it will work better for me as time goes on. But I think I would prefer to have surgery done!!

I used this medication for about a month. It caused me to have SEVERE CONSTIPATION. I told my doctor about this. He said that Enablex was originally created for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and not for Overactive Bladder or Incontinence. Enablex was originally a Pfizer Drug, which also has Detrol LA. Pfizer decided to get rid of it because they didn't feel comfortable selling it for Incontinence. As for controlling my incotinence, it didnt work for me. My doctor put me on Vesicare 5mg and I have improved dramatically. Vesicare works very well without the constipation. Read More Read Less

This medication works great early in the day. But seems to wear off by the late afternoon. Even though I am taking the 15 mg. dose. Side effects are minimum.

my doctor just informed me that since I have a family history of alztheimers/demensia, i should not take this medication as it affects cognitive functions. as a result, i am no longer taking it. be careful if you are having memory problems, losing a word, etc.

I was having consistant urinary infections. Near the end, I started having the feelings to pee all the time and was negative for a urinary infection. I started off on a perscription Detrol LA. It helped, but I could not empty my bladder fully, I was needing to go every 30 minutes, and I felt I had to go instantly under stress and the feeling would not go away. Bad for work. I went to a specialist and I was put on 15 mg Enablex. It worked wonders after a week or two. I could last through 2 hour meetings. The feelings go away most of the time. I can last one hour under normal conditions and I don't have to go to the bathroom at night. There are cons. One, your bladder is not perfect. You need to go premtive before major events. You have to control you amount of liquid consumption. I only drink about 32oz a day and only from 5-8 pm during week days. Thank God for hard candy. There are minor side effects for me. Constipation about once or twice a month for two hours or so. Also, dry eyes wich can be fixed with visine. I have been doubling my dose for events such as concerts or major events in my life. I usually have constipation because of this, but it is better than feeling like you need to go or have to go multiple times when you are wanting/needing to be there. I recommend it. I just wish I was back to normal with the pill. I feel like I am 80-85% back to normal with the help of this pill.Read More Read Less

Since taking enablex nothing has changed, my doctor swithed me to a higher dose but that was 2 weeks ago and still no difference.

i have been on enablex for 2 days and already noticed a difference.but what can i do to get rid of the dry mouth?

I have double vision in my right eye now. I'm gaining weight. I've had flu-like systioms and constant congestion. I'v taken this drug for 2 weeks. I have stopped and pray all this clears up.

I seem to have a combination of what everyone is saying...worked really well in the beginning, but the longer i am on it, it seems to "wear off". Also, i take it at nite before bed and for the 1st 1/2 of my day, its great, but after lunch, not so much! I still have accidents and urgency. 38 yrs old female..3 kids.

Male, 64 yrs, Overactive bladder. Two Enablex 7.5 mg tablets (one a day for 2 days) totally shut down my bladder. Hospital ER inserted a catheter. After 2 weeks, I went on Flomax and had the catheter removed the next day (10 hours ago). Hoping Flomax will allow some urination and I won't have to go back on the catheter.

when I have to go, I have to go.

I have taken the medication for 5 months. I can see a difference. Still some problems but not like before

This medication seems to work for me only part of the month. When I get closer to my period it doesn't work at all and I find myself running to the nearest bathroom and sometimes not soon enough.

I am still having to make hurried trips to the bathroom occasionally. There are also times when I have to go immediately, and cannot make it to the bathroom in time.

I seem to be having a lot of side effects from this.

have had an overactive bladder for quite some time and 15 mg medicine seems to have worked out okay for me but would like to know more bout the side effects if anyone has any answers...
