OUr son was put on this medication because he wets his pants a lot and he says he can't control it. I don't feel like this medication is working for him. Since he's been on it he doesn't eat very much and when he does put food in his mouth, he has a hard time swallowing and he ends up spitting it out. Maybe this is due to his mouth being so dry which is a side effect of this medication. Published: February 23, 2008 ::

Ditropan was recommended immediately following Prostate removal due to cancer 3 years ago. Recent PSA results confirm no cancer. Occasional and minor leakage still requires constant protection with pad. I decided to try weaning from Ditropan as an experiment. It's been 2 weeks and find NO CHANGE in frequence nor amount of leakage. Published: August 23, 2008 ::
Works miracles for my hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating out of proportion to heat or anxiety), even though it is not approved for it. Pretty much, this drug saved my social life after chronic meningitis messed up my nervous system and caused me to sweat buckets (once to the point of fainting/collapse). Only major side effect for me is dry mouth. Published: May 26, 2009 ::

i know some have complained about the dry mouth, but mine is not very bad. slight dry mouth is a small price to pay for the time i earn back from not being in the restroom. i am leaking less urine and going about half as much. i took more expensive medications and this one works as well, and its a fraction of the cost.
