I've been taking Vesicare (10mg) for over a year now for my OAB and the changes it has made to my lifestyle is just remarkable. Before Vesicare, it was bad. Really bad. Like going to the bathroom 10+ times a day, 3+ times a night, worrying about accidents (which I'd have at least once a week), and that doesn't even include intimacy issues (God bless my husband)... my life revolved around my bat...

Strange side effect…Yes it has worked but, I noticed my ability to have an orgasm has decreased. Even my partner says that my body is not sending him the normal signals and I seem dryer. I am use to being "multiple" and now I'm lucky to get one. I would rather pee more often than be unsatisfied. I also had the dry mouth, skin, and eyes, with acid reflux and blurry vision. I just don't think I can ...

Overall I am satisfied with Vesicare. I tried Detrol, that worked for about 1 1/2 yrs. I'm only 48 yrs old and I don't want to have surgery. I've been taking Vesicare for 3 weeks and it is helping a great deal. I have to deal with constipation and dry mouth, but Detrol did the same thing. I just have to eat lots of fiber and fruits. Changing my diet is a good exchange for OAB. Hopefully it will continue to work for me.

After taking this medication for a week, I find it has helped in the frequency. But I have pain in my eyes and constipation.Slight dry mouth.I will keep taking it for another week or so to see if the eye pain goes away.If not I think I will stop.

after 10 days of taking this I woke up in early hours feeling panicky and this has now continued for 3 days now, despite stopping the drug. I find it hard to eat and have lost 3lbs in 2 days feeling full of fear all the time with stomach churning. I have now read it interacts with prozac, which I am on, and another reviewer saying she was jittery and nauseas put my mind at rest, this reaction has got to be the tablets. I will return to consultant to get something else, if this is all there is then I would rather have orginal problem then feel like this. In the 10 days that I took it I did notice the dry mouth towards the 8th day, but I did not notice any difference to number of times I went to the bathroom, but the tablets insert said it takes 4 weeks to work, so that in itself did not worry me. NEVER AGAINRead More Read Less

I have been taking 10mg Vesicare for over one year and it has made a profound difference in my life - no more pads, disposable underwear etc. However, I have recently been having trouble with short term memory. I am 73 and I attributed it to age and dementia but now I read where Vesicare may cause memory loss. I still work as a bookkeeper at a local business and cannot afford to keep forgetting things - and I don't know whether to quit the Vesicare or not. Anyone out there have any experience with memory loss as a result of incontinence drugs????Read More Read Less

I nearly died in my sleep taking this med from swelling in my throat called angio-edema which would have made me suffocate in a room full of air similar to an anaphylactic reaction. It was my 2nd night taking the pill. Luckily a noise woke me up and I noticed I was swelling, especially in my neck. My hands and inside my mouth were itching. I took benedryl but did not help, got scared, and rushed to ER where I was given epi shots, high doeses of steroids, put on monitors and immediately admitted for several days. Also caused severe constipation, headaches, and dizziness. I have never had a similar reaction to any other medication. Do not take this med.Read More Read Less

Overpriced. I think it may have been effective when I first started using it, BUT no longer is this the case. I will seek a better (more effective) drug

I have used it for about a month & it has made a huge difference for me - before I would come home & barely make it to the bathroom without having an accident or if I sneezed, coughed, or laughed I could almost guarantee leakage. I could tell the difference within just a couple days & am very satisfied with the product - have had no side effects whatsoever.

Taking Vesicare has eliminated the desperate urge to void issue. I no longer wet myself trying to unzip fast enough to use the toilet.

I have enjoyed Vesicare. It started working 24-48 hrs after taking the first pill. I took it on a regular basis for 30 days, now I just take when I know that I will be out for a long time. I love it!

I have had dry mouth so bad and I have experienced headaches in the mornings. I have had dry mouth before with certain drugs but this one is a doozy.

It worked for me within 24 hours of first dosage. No constipation yet,no water retention yet. Small headache in morning and dry mouth,but that is a small trade off for the confidence it gives me when in public. So far, I love it.
