Hi there, iv just read your post! I have been on this tablet for 1 year now due to constant sweating caused by a medication I'm taking and I'm a little worried about what you said about it possible causing mental problems such as seeing things and do on.. can you please tell me if this is common?

I have just been prescribed Oxybutynin for constant hot sweats but can't find any feedback on it being used for this purpose. Do you know if hot sweats are one of its indications?

I have been on oxybutynin for about a week and my mouth is incredibly raw and sore. Swallowing is painful as well. I don't see this side effect listed. Almost anything makes it worse. I am miserable. Has anyone had these issues?

When I start taking Oxybutynin, should I take it in the morning or at night? My doctor prescribed me 5mg once per day. I also take medicine for high blood pressure. Can I take Oxybutynin?

Yes you should be concerned. You need to try to talk to her in a calm manner and confront her calmly. I'm just saying this because im a teen as well and just trying to help. If she does end up being addicted to the drug you need to take her to the doctor.

I know that people have been abusing this medication for urinary incontinence to make themselves feel high. They take it in bigger doses to induce hallucination effects. I'm not sure what other ways it makes you high, but YES if she is a teen especially INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER!!

Here is a quote from a pharmacist found on this very page if you scroll down, just in case you missed it. I'm not a professional, but I know from experience that Oxybutynin can be abused:

"Hello I am a licensed pharmacist. If the medication was not prescribed to your daughter for urinary incontinence, there is reason for great concern. Many young people are currently using oxybutynin to achieve a sedated feeling or "high" because of the way that it acts in the body. When taken in excess, it can cause seizures and psychosis. Please talk to her ASAP."
