Constipation, EXCESSIVE DRY MOUTH, break through frequent urination at night (4-5 x's)ok during the day, sore stomach.... even though I take omeprazole. Backache and leg cramps increased. Food tastes are unpleasant. Just overall not pleasant OR effective.

I began this medicine in the month of August. I noticed it helped me empty my bladder better so I wasn't going to the bathroom as much. My first adverse symptom was dryness, esp. of the mouth and then my skin. I didn't like the drowsiness so I asked my urologist if I could discontinue. She prescribed the 60 mg ER instead, saying it should eliminate my symptoms. Two months later, I went to ER with tachycardia and was diagnosed with AFib. Labs revealed huge amounts of blood in my urine for which I was referred to my urologist who did nothing about it. She claimed it was the heparin and Eliquis that caused it. The cardiologist said it was possible. Gynecology appt. lab 2 weeks later showed high levels of blood in urine and caused doctor to refer me to my cardiologist. By then, I had switched back to my former cardiologist who said it was not likely since I was on a low dose. Urologist said she would do cystoscopy and found a lesion. Later, hospital cystoscopy revealed benign adenoma which she resected. Still, I had gross blood in my urine that I reported. No one knows why. I started having severe dry mouth, blurry vision, and sudden memory loss. My creatinine levels were increasing which were attributed to the intense dehydration I was experiencing. I only have 1 kidney. I was already drinking lots and lots of water. Water didn't prevent this kind of dehydration. This is when I began to research this drug online at reputable sites, like the NIH, Mayo Clinic, etc. I learned that all of my above symptoms, including the tachycardia, are possible side effects of this drug. One site said that a doctor should discuss all the possible side effects of this drug before prescribing it. This drug is excreted only through the kidneys so it should not be given to someone with one kidney, which explains my increasing creatinine levels. I post this to warn anyone considering taking this drug. It is not for everyone.Read More Read Less

I took this medication for several months before having to stop. It did help with my OB but I started having blood in my urine. Thinking it was an UTI I went to the doctor, took the urine test, was put on an antibiotic. A couple days later the doctors office called and said I did not have a UTI but I could finish the antibiotic. I tried one again to take the RX But I was dizzy, had a headache so I stopped taking it. I’ve had no further problems after discontinuing it.

Without this drug I am a mess. I am glad it only took a day to start working as the instructions say it could take up to 6 weeks.

I have overactive bladder with urge incontinence, and, although it doesn't stop me from leaking, it helps me with frequency, urgency, and urinating at night. I have been taking it for about six months, and I have not experienced any side effects at all.

I started taking this in March of 2014, and it does a very good job of allowing more time spent enjoying life, rather than running to a rest room. The only downside I have experienced is frequent urination at night.
