Vesicare how long to work

Common Questions and Answers about Vesicare how long to work

vesicare

Shes dx though. Has this ever happened to any of you guys. Do you have an idea of why the Vesicare stopped working. My sis says its probably cause I have ms. Well I cant wait to see what my uro says about it. The docs seem to tell me one thing about my problems but then gives my neuro a different explanation, and I look like a hypocondriac (is that how you spell it) Also, I was dx with PsuedoTumor Cerebri, after they did the LP.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how long this will last? Anything I can try to help rebuild my immune system and get over this? I have cut out all alcohol, sodas, etc and trying to eat as best as I can with little to no appetite. Thanks in advance!

It is painful to sit so he is either in the recliner, lying down or standing up. Is there any way to relieve the pain besides what we are doing, and how long before it gets better? My husband is 68 and was in good physical shape prior to the surgery. We are losing patience!

She suggested that it is a medication that works in the urethra and would not have the same side effects of vesicare and that I would know if it was working in one week. She did not appear however to be able to give an indication as to whether this medication would require to be used in the long term or whether it could lead to a resolution of the difficulties.

She asked me to do a log of how many times I'm peeing in 24 hrs. Now, even with the Vesicare, I'm going between 14-15 times in 24 hrs and getting up now between 3-4 times at night. At times, I'll use the restroom, get up, walk 5-10 feet, then feel like I have to go again. Then I go again - and it's anywhere between 30-100% of the amount the first time that I tried to go. Hmmm, now that I just looked at this, it seems like the Vesicare isn't really working. I only take 5 mg a day.

Hi there, I take or should I say I was taking vesicare for bladder urgency, painful bladder spasms and I was also getting burning on an extreme nature in that region, I kept thinking I had UTIs but it was neurological and another problem according to my urologist and neurologist I have two issues.

He told me it sounded like I have an over active bladder and gave me a prescription for Vesicare. For the longest time the medication was working until about 6-7 months ago when I ended up with back to back UTI's. Ever since I had the UTI's the Vesicare quit working. I am to a point where I'm not sleeping properly. For example I can try to fall asleep around 10pm but I will end up being awake until 3am or later all because I'm up and down going to the bathroom.

Detrol XL worked briefly and then didn't, but the side effects were minimal. Vesicare worked the best, for about a week, and now the damn frequency is back. Considering my retention, I expect intermittent clean cath to be recommended. Propranalol for tremor and to help prevent migraines. It lowers my already low blood pressure, though, so I counter it with salt tablets. That has eliminated my lightheadedness.

I am on Vesicare for bladder issues and Gabapentin for nerve pain, both drugs seem to be working well but since I have been on the Vesicare I am so, so, constipated. I know that it affects your muscles and it seems to have stopped the horrible bladder spasms and urgency and burning sensations I was having but now I can't seem to go and use my bowels. I drink over 8 glasses of water per day, I exercise, I eat all bran (full of fibre) for breakfast, I have my daily intake of fruit incl.

-) I don't know how your drug pricing is down under ..... that may be a good deal. ?? Is it at least a much larger bottle than if you bought a jar of Miralax? The stuff we get here is powder and we mix it by the spoonful in water - no sachets to help with the prep. This can take several doses to begin to work - don't give up, it will happen.

I'm confident that if you get the prescription you will have the same results. Good luck. Let me know if it worked for you because I can't see how it would not.

They've given me different pills, but they haven't worked. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of this? Is there an OTC pill I can take that would work better than what they doctor gave me? I'm really running out of patience these past few days. It's so bad, I have to plan outings on where there are nearby bathrooms. It's making it really hard to go out for too long. Please if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

While I was on it I had these daily, kind of matter-of-fact thoughts about suicide. I wondered all the time how long I would be willing to live feeling wretched like this. It was nothing dramatic or immediate and seemed rather normal. I didn't even bother to tell my neuro. A couple months after I stopped the interferon I noticed that those thoughts had disappeared. Hmmm. I told my neuro about it and he stated unequivocably, "No more interferon for you!

This just cam out of no where, i do drink about 3-5 cuos of green tea a day and the odd coffee but have been doing do for alomost 5 years and never had a problem. My doctor has given me vesicare (solifenacin succinate) and said I may have irratable blader syndrome. Im not beliving it becuase this just cam out of no where... I gave a urine sample to the lab and have not recived c all back so I assume there is no issue... IS itpossible that I have a UTI?

When I wake up from nap or from night when I move the pattern of where my hand last was, leaves like a moving pattern when I put my hand down. Hard to explain, I know. Vesicare stopped working, only seemed to work for a few months. Everything came back, frequencey, not being able to hold, and not being able to go, pain burning, pressure, leakage, all back. He put me on an anti-depressant that is supposed to be able to help tighten the muscle or something with a low dose.

Dear Dr., I posted back in June about the Burch and how long it is supposed to last. Just a brief explanation - I had a Dr.'s appt. yesterday and he is suggesting I may have MS. I go in for a brain MRI tomorrow and a neurology appt. as a follow up sometime in next month. For the last 4 weeks,I have been involuntarily leaking again (not stress), it just comes out. For example, I showered yesterday and 3 hours later, my pants were wet. This happens every day, all day.

He doesn't seem to concerned with anything at this point but I will bring it up with him tomorrow. In regards to Copaxone, how does it work for you? How long did it take for it to start working for you? How do you fare with the awesome burning at the injection site? You are the first person that I have talked with that has taken the drug so any imput you have would be great.

My symptoms did not improve and I began on Vesicare, which did not help, and now I am on Detrol LA. This does not seem to be helping either. I am continuing to urinate 20-30 times a day. Sitting also makes it worse. Please help. I cannot continue to live like this. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/912656'>Urinary Urgency/Frequency/Incontinence</a>.

They are a bit graphic, but they tell the truth. The first is the explanation of how our bladders are supposed to work and some of the things that can go wrong. http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/The-Neurology-of-Bladder-Incontinence/show/758?cid=36 http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/Urinary-Incontinence-Physical-Therapy---Part-I/show/759?cid=36 http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/Urinary-Incontinence-PT---Part-Deux/show/760?

After urinating I put on my underwear and feel like I still want to urinate like my bladder isn't empty. I can hold my urine for a long time but if I do I become very bloated and get this brownish odorless discharge. I've been to countless doctors done a cystoscopy, IVP, different ultrasounds and many other tests and medications but they can't seem to find the problem. If I were to go to the bathroom everytime I felt like urinating I would never leave the bathroom.

It's been a long road, don't listen to what anyone says about how high your dose is or how long you have been taking it. It is NONE of their business it's an individual choice and lets face it it's better than using and all the risks involved and .who wants to be an overdose statistic.????NOT ME!! 1 more thing, methadone causes sweating. For me it was SO GROSS.and weird only my face and head sweat.Of course the worst places!!!strangers were like omg are you ok?

About 18 months ago I began to notice urinary hesitancy, stopping and starting, etc. Long story short, I went to a urogynecologist, who did urodynamic testing and diagnosed big time bladder problems. I started self-cathing, but really only needed it once a day. This went on for 4 or 5 months, and then gradually I didn't need it. Things got back to normal, and I figured good, that lesion has pretty much healed (wherever it was). I was delighted.

It was just a talking visit. She wanted to know if the medication was working, if the side effects were too troublesome, and whether there was anything else we needed to address. I have had only a couple of accidents--probably just BECAUSE I am trying to lengthen my holding powers. One was at work and my darling hubby brought me fresh jeans. I think the medicine, oxybutynin chloride, has just started to be helpful in the last week or two. It's not drying me out excessively.

So I was dating a girl for about 2 months after not having sex for over 1.5 years because i was in a long term relationship and we decided (no sex before marriage). Well I had unprotected sex with the new girl I was dating and 3 weeks later I tested positive for Chlamydia. I was eventually tested for everything else and came up clean other than Chlamydia. The sensation of course was the drippy feel, but no discharge or staining, and my balls were tingling/itchy sensation.

I asked my MS nurse about it, having heard a few people here have had good results battling fatigue with it and my insurance still won't cover Provigil. I talked to my pharmacist, and he was strongly against me taking it, and he has been my pharmacist for many years; a very caring guy. My roommate has knowledge of its effects from people she knows, and says not to take it. I got an e-mail from my MS nurse today, telling me that she called Amantidine in to my pharmacy, and to take 100 mg.

I toughed it out, but I also am semi-retired, work from home and don't have to get up and go off to work every day. It took a long time. All my life, before being hyper, I'd slept like a baby...took a bomb to get me up. Because of that, I didn't have much in the way of "going back to sleep" skills. I think I'm finally learning them... You're still so new to meds and trying to get stabilized...maybe throwing another factor into the equation should wait a while?

) but he said that you are better to use the movicol sachets, but I guess as long as you don't use it long term, I tried it and found it too savage as in the pains. My stuff is not hard, so I don't need a softener I just don't seem to get the urge to go!!! Pardon the pun but it's such a pain in the arse. I can go over a week without going, but i think the fibre just packs me up even more and makes it worse for my type of constipation, so the metamucil etc.

dx = demylinating disease/white brain matter disease detrol didn't work so the urologist changed me to vesicare. That seem to be helping. Without the meds I am up every two or three hours without much output.

Also if you spend a certain amount per year there is a safety net that helps out when you reach that target My neurologist has worked in England, America Africa and here, but he sounds more American he understands both systems and how the USA system and the Aus. system works, pity you couldn't talk to him. My friend who has a chronic illness just immigrated here and he said our system is easier and better for sick people, but he has a visa to live here now.
