this works for me better than detral, enablix or oxibutin...so far so good Published: December 15, 2007 ::
same thing happened to me and i think this is a VERY important note to inform people about! after being on medication for about 3 weeks, i'm getting severe swelling in legs, feet & hands (can't even get my rings on and off!) i'm retaining so much water! i'm stopping all medication - i think i'm better off just going back to the way i was - running to the bathroom every 15 minutes!

It works BUT an accidental overdose simulated symptoms of A MINOR STROKE. the mind "lost it". Amnesia. (two days) Published: March 23, 2008 ::
dry mouth was a problem but other then that, it has been great. Published: December 09, 2007 ::
I have been taking 10mg Vesicare for over one year and it has made a profound difference in my life - no more pads, disposable underwear etc. However, I have recently been having trouble with short term memory. I am 73 and I attributed it to age and dementia but now I read where Vesicare may cause memory loss. I still work as a bookkeeper at a local business and cannot afford to keep forgetting things - and I don't know whether to quit the Vesicare or not. Anyone out there have any experience with memory loss as a result of incontinence drugs???? Published: September 19, 2008 ::
It worked but I became so constipated I had to stop taking it Published: February 15, 2008 ::
Following suprapubic surgery to correct a leaking urethra I still had some leakage. As discussed with my doctor in advance, we realized that this might be necessary to "re-train" my bladder to hold longer. I am only 37 years old and between the surgery and Vesicare, it has changed my life dramatically! I noticed a huge improvement within 12-24 hours and no longer do I have to wear panty liners to feel fresh and clean! Published: October 19, 2007 ::
I have been extrodenly happy with vesicre I had close to complete sympitimatic releaf in 12 horus of my first dose no joke! Sadly it's not on the cheapt drugs list in australia But for $43AU a month the drug will be well worth it Published: October 18, 2007 ::
I have enjoyed Vesicare. It started working 24-48 hrs after taking the first pill. I took it on a regular basis for 30 days, now I just take when I know that I will be out for a long time. I love it! Published: August 01, 2008 ::
This has changed my life. I'm no longer a slave to the bathroom. Published: October 05, 2007 ::
I was having bladder spasms that were extremely uncomfortable. It took a few weeks, but they then stopped and I have been fine for about a year. What a relief! Published: April 25, 2008 ::

I have been on this med for some time now and at the beginning it was fine no side effects but as of today I am retaining fluid in my legs and feet and it is very uncomfortable. I called my doctor and they told me to stop using it right away and I have an appointment tomorrow to be checked out. I have also experience dry mouth upset stomach and headaches.
