I was on Detrol for 2 years and it just stopped working, so I went to a urologist and he switched me to Sanctura XR. THIS MEDICINE WORKS WONDERS! Within 2 days I no longer had to RUSH to the restroom, no more 'accidents', no more 'frequent' trips to the restroom and finally I sleep at night without 'bathroom interruptions'. Now the downside is when trying to read fine print (newspaper), my vision ...

After radical prostate surgery followed by 8 weeks of radiation, I developed an over active bladder that would not empty causing me to want to go to the bathroom frequently and a constant dripping problem. Sanctura and Vesicare 5mg have proven to be ineffective. Any suggestions.

I was put on Sanctura XR in August for bladder spasms. I am experiencing a burning stomach, severe constipation, and more recently, extreme redness in my upper body after working out. Checking my blood pressure tomorrow.

The pressure, pain and frequent urination was greatly improved. I have inestital cystitis of the bladder and have had several procedures done to help with the pain, santura worked better than other meds. The only thing that really bothers me is the dry mouth and constipation.

I found it very effective but constipation was such a problem that I stopped taking it twice a day as prescribed. My Trosec (trospium chloride) is 20 mg.ea.tablet. Have tried eating bran and various laxatives but constipation is still very troubling, even when taking it only once a day.

I suffer from Interstitial Cystitus in addition to severe frequency and super severe urgency, as well as bladder spasms that double me over in pain. Santura XL is the first relief I've gotten in the last 12 years. Benefits far outweigh the side effects.

The medicine has helped the overactive bladder but constipation and dry mouth are problems but my biggest problem is a very bad skin rash that can only be caused by this medication.

Greatly improved all problems, urgency, frequency, leakage, etc. Slight constipation, which eating a prune or two every day or 2, helps. Dry mouth most annoying, as my jobs requires a lot of talking... not as annoying as all the problems it has fixed!

No such thing as a wonder drug, but this comes close for me. Before I would go 3 times a night and while at work was finding it very difficult to get through a meeting. I even wetted my bed once, and I'm 38 years old. Prostate check out to be normal, just an overactive bladder. Still don't know why I have this condition, but this medication has returned me back to normal. Side effects include difficulty reading fine print and makes me a little groggy in the morning since I take it before I go to bed.Read More Read Less

I have had urinary urgency and frequent urination (getting up sometimes 6 to 8 times a night) for several years. I have been taking Sanctura XR, 60 mg for about a month. I have noted a moderate decrease in urgency, but no significant change in frequency.

I have had severe side effects with this drug. I was sent in for abdominal CT scans and no one was able to find the cause of the pain in my gut. I finally went to WebMD and discovered on my own that my intense stomach pain, dry mouth, dry eyes and blurred vision was caused by this drug. I would not recommend it. Sometimes the side effects are just too bad to justify taking the "cure".
