Oxybutynin Reviews

Updated

Since I stopped taking Oxybutynin, I have no more dry mouth, dry nasal passages, dry eyes and dry skin. I also have no upset stomach anymore, including constant heartburn from taking the medication. I will be using surgery to relieve my problem. No more medicine.

Those are very common side effects of this medication. It can also cause dizziness, vomiting, drowsiness and motion sickness.

I have also noticed few aches in the joints, etc. My main issue is that it didn't even slow down the incontinece. Isn't that why I was taking it in the first place? Hmmm

What type of surgery are you having? Is it for incontinence or overactive bladder?

Thank you for mentioning joint pain! After just a couple days on this medication my right knee (that I dislocated in 1998) hurt so badly I was having trouble going up and down stairs (I am 46 years old). This medication caused horrible bladder ache even at 5 mg only at night, so I had to stop taking it. It helped with the urgency instantly though. Even at only 5mg only at night, I didn’t go excessively until after 3 pm and even then it wasn’t that bad. Before the medication I would pee at least 10 times an hour all morning. But the pain wasn’t worth it.

I dislocated my knee 20 yrs ago and once in a while it’ll hurt in the winter. In the 4 days on this medication my knee was THROBBING in pain. It wasn’t even that bad after the initial injury. I told my doctor, and it stopped the day after I stopped the medication, but he didn’t think it was related. The bladder ache/pain made me stop more than the knee. It worked great on the urgency.
