Anyone have experience with Oxybutynin 5mg/5ml Syrup for overactive bladder?
I've been prescribed Oxybutynin 5mg/5ml Syrup to manage my overactive bladder symptoms. I've heard it can be really effective, but I'm a bit worried about the side effects. Has anyone else taken this medication? How was your experience with it? What were the side effects like for you? Any tips on managing them? I'm curious to hear from others who've been through this.
I had hallucinations!! They were so scary. I had to stop taking it.
I was on Oxybutynin for a while and it really helped with the frequent urination. I did experience some dizziness and dry mouth at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Just make sure to stay hydrated and talk to your doctor if anything feels off.
I had a terrible time with Oxybutynin 5mg/5ml Syrup. I had trouble sleeping, confusion, and dizziness. I switched to Mirabegron and it was much better. You may want to explore alternatives if Oxybutynin doesn’t work out, but definitely don’t ignore the severe side effects.
Did your doctor mention that this can cause constipation?
I was on it for 6 months. The side effects were tolerable but the biggest problem was the cost. My insurance didn’t cover it so I had to switch to a different medication.
Worth mentioning that some people get really bad UTI symptoms when they first start taking it. My doc said that's because everyone's bladder gets messed up from the meds at first
