User Reviews for oxybutynin chloride oral

has done nothing for my overactive bladder. still have spasms and a frequent need to urinate, very irritating when I'm trying to get to sleep.

This drug had almost no effect on my symptoms. Flowmax worked better, but not as good as Detrol LA.

A doctor put my 93 year old father on this. After a couple of months, he was getting terribly confused and it was thought that he had dementia. We took him off the medication and his mind cleared up in five days. Watch out for this!!!

my son 12yrs has been taking this for 1 and a 1/2 month now. it seems to be working. the doctor has prescribed the drug for 2 months. Off late i noticed that he doesn't get the morning erection. Does this drug led to any such erectile problems.

This medication worked for me in that I can control urges to go now. I had been having trouble getting to the bathroom in time (a matter of 15 feet away!) However the side effects are killing me, so I cut the pill in half and that didn't even help!! My mouth is so dry that I can hardly swallow and many times end up gagging! My eyes hurt - are dry - and I feel like a zombie most of the time. I used to be energetic and enthusiastic, but am now lethargic and feel like I could stay in bed all day. Everything is an effort and I'm very tired and getting depressed. I finally decided to look it up and see what others had to say about the side effects. Now that I see that others are having the same reaction, I am going to quit taking them. I would rather have to keep my bedside commode for night time and wear a pad during the day than have to deal with a mouth so dry that I gag and can hardly talk and swallow than feel so sick, have my eyes hurt and be so depressed all the time. I'm quitting tonight and will write again in a week to tell how I am feeling!!Read More Read Less

Taking 1 10mg tablet daily for 4 months and have had good results. However, will need to change dosage or strength because symptons have started to return.

I was given this RX for excessive sweating. After reading the other comments here, it sounds like I was given the wrong medication. After taking for about a week, when I got up in night to urinate, having the feeling I needed to go, I couldn't. without straining. Stopped taking right away.

The side effect of blurred vision is bad enough that I have discontinued use of this drug.

no noticeable change, in fact made matters worse. It was more effort to strain to go and had a very weak stream. Within a couple days of not taking the oxybutynin there was a definate change for the better. I guess it doesnt work for everybody

I feel like i am in a fog all day and not thinking clearly and very sluggish-I will discontinue this med

Did not work for me. Took about 3 days before i realized it gave me a headache, abdominal pain, bad cramping and dry throat. Stopped taking meds, side effects to strong.

very dry mouth and eyes

I am not able to continue using it because I get disoriented and faint and the fourth day of taking it I passed out at about 1:00 pm and woke up at 8:29 pm.

it stopped me from having to urnat so much

dizzy, low pulse, dry mouth, weird effect on eyes - maybe 15 trips to toilet as opposed to 20

3 a day ,works for me.

My physician has been working with me for over 2 years with different medications. Following recent bladder surgery to assist with urinary control, urgency, frequency my doctor increased my dose of oxybutynin from 5 mg twice a day, to 5 mg 4 x a day. I could live with the dry mouth and eyes because the nightly trips to the bathroom dropped from 5 to 1-2 times. But with the increase in medication I began to experienced flushed skin, swelling to joints of the ankles, knees, and wrist. Also developed palpitations, dizziness and blurred vision. Yes at this increase dose the medication did control the urinary issues, but had to seek medical treatment in the emergency room. Read More Read Less

It helped some but I can't go into a meeting over 1 hour without sever urgency. I still get up at night. Flomax was added recently and my symptoms have gotten worse! What a nightmare (3+ times nightly) OAB is.

Prescribed for incontinance and painful urination. Side effects included nervousness, frequent urination, drowsiness, constipation and general malaize.
