Anyone else on meds for these? If so, what are you on and how well does it work for you?
I tried Detrol LA a few years ago but it didn't work well. I tried Vesicare then and it worked a lot better but over time I seemed to experience diminished effectiveness, even after we doubled the dose.
I then tried Gelnique, and hated it. It didn't seem to work that well and the amount of gel you have to apply and the area you can apply it to ... I either had to stand around undressed for 20+ minutes waiting for it to dry, or got it all over my clothes. Blech.
I'm now trying the oxybutynin (sp?) patch but the ins co keeps denying it and saying they want me to take Vesicare or Gelnique. Still making calls to my pharmacy and dr's office trying to figure out if there's any way we can get it approved or I need to go back to Vesicare.
Can anyone relate? Or anyone have better luck with a different drug I haven't tried yet?
