Is anyone else on Vesicare? I've taken it for about a year. I've been on the 5mg dose and initially I was really happy with it. However, the past month or two it hasn't seemed to have worked as well; my urgency and frequency have increased. I saw my MS specialist 2 weeks ago and he increased my dose to 10mg.
Since increasing the dose, it seems to be helping somewhat (though still not working as well as it did a year ago) but I've also gained 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I know part of it is all the junk I've eaten for the holidays but wondering if it's partly also water retention from the increased dose. I've also had really bad dry mouth and sore throat. For those of you who've experienced those side effects, did they get better over time? If you switched from Vesicare, what else did you try? I tried Detrol LA a few years ago but wasn't happy with it.
