Oxybutinin 5 Mg

I have been on oxybutinin 5 mg for three months I already suffer from trigeminal neuralgia . I take many medications for that. I am suffering from dry eyes, dry mouth, lack of appetite and losing weight and can't afford to, losing sleep and severe headaches that are exaerbating the neuralgia. My question is how does one get off of the drug ? I should mention I had severe OAB and took two two pills a day and could go as many as forty to fifty times a day . I will probaly go back to otc patch. I see the doctor in May .

Those are all typical side effects for Oxybutynin, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea and blurry vision.

There shouldn't be any special procedure require to stop taking it, though it's best to double check that with your doctor first. But it isn't addictive or habit forming.

There are other medications you can try, such as Detrol LA, it's taken once a day, since it's time released, but there is a chance that it could cause the same side effects.

Does anyone else have any ideas that may help?
