I've been taking oxybutin (Ditropan XL) for 15 years. It works for bladder urgency but has side effects: constipation, dry mouth, dry eyes, decreased sweating. The constipation is a constant struggle. I just realized the decreased sweating was probably contributing to my heat intolerance. If you don't sweat ( or glow, as we ladies in the South like to put it), your body can't cool itself.
I asked my urologist if there was anything new that might be better and he gave me some samples of Myrbetric. I took it for 3 weeks. The last day I had two MAJOR accidents, one just sitting in my wheelchair. This never happened on oxybutin. I immediately went back on to oxybutin, and back to the side effects, but in control.
Reading Drugs.com, it did say that Myrbetric takes up to 8 weeks to be fully effective. That little tidbit was not included on the drug information provided with the samples, and my urologist did not mention it.
Has anybody tried Myrbetric? Did it work for you?
