I AM HAVING EXTREME FATIQUE & MUSCLE WEAKNESS. STARTED AFTER TAKING SANCTURA TO HELP WITH OVERACTIVE BLADDER. MY ORIGINAL DOSE WAS 2/DAY BUT MY WEAKNESS BEGAN & MY TASTE WAS GONE. OF COURSE THAT HELPED W/MY WEIGHT LOSS. THEY CUT THE DRUG BACK TO 1/DAY. TASTE IS RETURNING BUT WEAKNESS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO FUNCTION. I DO URINATE EVERY TIME I STAND UP & AND MY FACE HAS BEGUN TO ITCH TERRIBLE. ALSO, I HAVE HAD 2 OF 3 RECENT EPIDURALS FOR MY BACK PAIN.

My doctor told me to take this med once daily for 6 wks before deciding if it works or not. After 3 1/2 wks I find that it is making a real difference. Not going nearly as often or as urgently. It does give me a dry mouth but that is also a plus in a way because that encourages me to drink more which is good. I have been in the bad habit of drinking too little most of my life. I feel better all the way around!

It has helped but by no means stopped the leakage, but it does help with frequency of going to the bathroom.

I started Sanctura about 3 weeks ago, after trying three other meds for oab this past year. This one is dissappointing also, because the constipation is awful and the drowsiness is overwhelming. I am not sure what to do next about my bladder problem.

i've had bladder cancer, resulting in OAB. this is the only med that does not cause dry eyes, mouth, etc. and i've been on it for @ 4 months.

I have been taking Sanctura for almost one month and it has really made a difference in stopping frequent urination and pressure to urinate. I took DetrolLA before and it quit working.The side effects were less with Detrol. The side effects I feel are EXTREME dry mouth and some fatigue. I am debating whether to stay on this drug or try another.

first use good= morning; as time passed it had decreasing effect; by night it had very little effect] [following severral days of use after a coupe hours then very little efect... At least this one did not have major affect on memory.

I have tried almost all of the other medications for OAB, and the implant surgery was the next option. The doctor, as a last resort, started me on the Sanctura XR. Within 3 days I was pad free and going when I wanted to instead of every 30 minutes when I had the urge. Insurance would not pay for XR, so the doctor started me on the 20mg twice a day. The dry mouth is not near as bad as with the XR, but I am getting the same great results for OAB. I had both stress and urge incontinence, which is now almost nonexistent. The only side effect is that it is difficult to take with my allergy medication. I have found a good time to take it each time, and by taking it two hours after dinner, it saves me from the "midnight snack". I have only been on the medication for about a month, but I have had no issues, and am very thankful. I hope it doesn't wear off.
