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 ...

I had surgery back in September of '06. I was put on this medication about 6 months ago and it has been a life changer. I don't have to worry anymore. It feels good not to worry about leaking or having to visit the ladies room every 15-30 minutes. I can actually get through a movie. It has been well worth it.

Following suprapubic surgery to correct a leaking urethra I still had some leakage. As discussed with my doctor in advance, we realized that this might be necessary to "re-train" my bladder to hold longer. I am only 37 years old and between the surgery and Vesicare, it has changed my life dramatically! I noticed a huge improvement within 12-24 hours and no longer do I have to wear panty liners to feel fresh and clean!
