Does anyone know how long it takes for this drug to leave your system. I don't think it is working for me and I want to compare how may times I urinate with and without it?

I started on Oxybutynin a week ago... before that I used to go almost every 2hrs. or sometimes after 15min. few times during the night I was getting very frustrating sometimes!!! after the 2nd day taking Oxybutynin everything changed I go less, but I have to push my self to empty my bladder... I'm going to see my doctor in 4 weeks... but I don't know if it's normal or I should contact my doctor before waiting for another 3 weeks...

How long have you been taking Oxybutynin? Sometimes it can take awhile for a drug to start working. I believe the drug can stay in your system for a few days.

Yes, my urologist has prescribed them over a period of a year and a half. I had a bladder biopsy in the beginng because I had blood in my urine and a UTI that would not respond to antibiotics. He found I had Interstistual cystitis for which I take Elmiron 3x a day. Also he found my bladder is small and does not empty completely. What really bothers me is that I have to urinate 3 to 4x at night. During the day I'm lucky if I can wait 2 hours before going. Sometimes, especially on trips after I go, 15 minutes later I feel like I need to go again. I think this is from nervous stress.
The oab meds really dry me out and I've had some brain fog. In the mornings I have blurry vision and some slight nausea and light headiness . It goes away later in the morning. I see my dr. on the 14th. I've been off the Gelnique for a week now and honestly I'm going less. Go figure.

the half life of Oxybutynin is short so it should be done doing it's 'thing' in 6-8 hrs. I had to change generics in the past, due to my pharmacy's choice, and all of a sudden the med stopped working. Thank God, I told the pharmacist, as she told me that this happens with some generics and they have a certain % of failure rate that is allowed. She went and ordered me the old generics back and the med worked just like it always has. This may or not help, but thought I'd tell you anyhow.

AFTER YEARS OF WEARING A PERMANENT SELF MANAGED CATHETER, LOADS OF BLADDER INFECTIONS INCLUDING A SUPERBUG TYPE THAT TOOK MONTHS TO CLEAR. I TOOK TOZIAZ 8MG AND AFTER A SHORT TIME CHANGED TO TOVIAZ 4MG. NOW I TAKE OXYBUTININ 2.5 MG ON GETTING INTO BED, THIS GIVES ME BLADDER CONTROL FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS. DISCUSS THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR GP, THERE ARE ALSO SURGICAL PROCEDURES TO SOLVE THE UNSTABLE BLADDER PROBLEM. I AM UNABLE TO HAVE THIS AS I HAVE A SERIOUS HEART PROBLEM WHICH PREVENTS ANY SURGERY USING FULL ANAESTHETIC. GOOD LUCK.

Worried Says:
My doctor switched my medication from Santura XR to Oxybuynin. I am now feeling the side effects of this drug. My eyes are swollen and dry, my throat is very dry and I feel dizzy. How long before the effects of this drug wear off? I took one yesterday and I am feeling pretty dizzy and fatigued.

I've been on Gelnique (the oxybutynin gel) about 3 weeks. Before that, the oxytrol patch about two months. Before that, I was on Vesicare for several months. Before that Detrol La and before that Santura Xr. All this over a period of about a year. None of them have helped my OAB.

Crystal Says:
May I ask if you recieved these drugs from your doctor? If not and you purchsed them over the internet your body may not react the way you want it to. Eveyone is different, so you may need a higher mg/dosage of these drugs. I am not a doctor so I can not tell you what your dosage should be.
If you did recieve them from a doctor, then I would speak to he/she about this. Your doctor should be trying to find the right drug for you, not giving you a new prescription every few weeks/months. Did you take any test that would help pin point the problem?
Please post back so I can help you better.
