I've been taking Oxybutynin (generic for Ditropan) for about 6 months now, and I was wanting some advice. I was on the 5 mg pills and they were working well until the last time I filled them. It was always a blue pill and the last time it was a greenish pill. I looked it up online and it was the drug I was supposed to get, but the green one just wouldn't work for me so I quit taking it.
I told my neuro about the new pills not working and he asked if I wanted to try the 10 mg extended release just once a day. I got it and it doesn't phase me either, except I do think it adds to my fatigue. I am going to try taking it at night to see if I feel better during the day, but I'm not sure how long to give it a try.
I'm really convinced these extended release tabs aren't going to work for me based on what I've experienced already. So my question is, what should I do? I've thought about asking the pharmacy if they can special order me the blue pills in the 5 mg dose again since they worked, but that pharmacy isn't exactly the best, so it's hard getting them to get anything right. I'm also wondering, is it time to just give up on the oxybutynin and try something else now? I have no idea what to do and this peeing all the time is driving me crazy.
