    doesn't seem to work for me and the left over adhesive is hard to remove. I would rather take a pill. Published: November 28, 2007 ::

    Comment from: 45-54 Female on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

    It seemed to help somewhat. I stopped the patch after about 6 months and was better than when I started using it - although still having some of the problems just not as bad. Published: August 25, 2008 ::

    the medication was helpful but after several weeks my skin was irritated under the patch. I kept using it and it got so bad that I had to remove the patch. The skin was extremely red and irritated and I also experienced extreme itching on my upper legs. Published: February 26, 2009 ::

    I have multiple sclerosis and have been on oxytrol (1-1/2 yrs) and ditropan for three years and found there is a slight bit of relief over the years. I get UTI's almost every 2-3 months which exaggerates my exacerbations. Published: May 26, 2008 ::

    Did not help my frequent urination. Published: March 27, 2008 ::

    Comment from: Miracle patch, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 5-10 years (Patient)

    I have been on this patch for 5 years. I call this my miracle drug. Before I started wearing this patch I couldn't do anything because I was always going. The urges have reduced as well as the visits. I don't think I could live a normal life with out using it. Published: July 01, 2009 ::

    Comment from: julianne, 55-64 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced headaches since taking this medication. I seem to have developed headaches-some are migraines (which I have a history of)since taking the medication. It does work very as far as stopping my need to urinate frequently. Published: April 19, 2009 ::

    Comment from: Quixote8184, 45-54 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

    This medicine does not alleviate the symptoms for which it is prescribed. You may get partial relief but the side effects counteract any overall benefit. One side effect not listed here is that this medication can cause dizziness and it does in a very disconcerting way almost like vertigo. Published: November 23, 2008 ::
