why does detrol la cause constipation

VESICARE,ENABLEX OR DETROL LA..........I m male and 29 yrs old ,can i also take detrol la.....Any response should be highly appreciated..........

Hi, My doctor had tried me on Vesicare but the side effects out weight the benefits. I was given Buscopan and Detrol LA to cope with bladder problems. I had a lot of problems with pain spasms and urgency. The Buscopan and Detrol LA help but in a case where I have severe pain, I now use Morphine.

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>.

ve tried many different overactive bladder medications, such as Detrol LA. I am now on Desmotabs, which I thank the world that I found, as this has all but stopped the night-time issue. Still, I wonder if there's anyone out there with my symptoms, that has found a way to best it. The D tabs are fantastic, and I can usually take a couple before going out with friends, and not have to make the usual 100 trips to the bathroom in a night, so it has greatly reduced my anxiety and embarrassment.

I now use Detrol LA and Buscopan to combat these spasms. It does not get rid of them but it does dull the intensity.

My neurologist recently put me on a Detrol LA for a week, then had me add Flomax. I noticed a slight improvement with the Detrol, but when I added the Flomax things urinary got dramatically better. But, shortly after starting the Flomax, I discovered that I did not produce any ejaculate! Not that sex is a big thing with me (staying upright while standing takes precidence), but it is still an important part of life (if only rarely).

I'm not sure, but have you (or has he) checked with his cardiologist? If so, what does he/she say? Hope the move goes well and you enjoy your new home!

He said I should wait a while and it might go away on its own, but this morning I called him and got a prescription for Detrol LA. I took a pill around 2 hours ago. However, I seriously doubt that what I have is overactive bladder, since the symptoms seem different from mine (particularly that what I feel is not the need to empty the bladder, and that it is a continuous urge rather than one that reappears every 15 min).

I have been told by my doctor that I have a chronic case of IC....(about three years ago) I was ok for awhile and, now the severe pain has returned....which meant I had to return to my urologist....He gave me elmiron and vesicare to treat the IC....the Elmiron never helped my pain and, the Vesicare took my blood pressure from 113/72 pulse 68 to 153/103 pulse 122...I contacted my urologist and, he stated...that's not true ... neither of these meds would cause your blood pressure to go up...

Things that they tried for me include medications like Flomax and Detrol LA. These meds give relieve on some areas but does not really deal with the prostatitis. One thing that gives me some relief at times is a hot bath. I'm sorry but I'm afraid that there is no real treatment option other than trial and error. I used to work as a heavy duty mechanic and I had many sleepless nights causing me to mis work due to the discomfort as well as being tired.

Hi sandie, my bladder problem was frequency and urgency. I used to get up 5 to 8 times at night, and now I only have to get up once or twice per night because of my prescription of Detrol LA. (i'm not sure if this is like Vesicare or not) I don't recal ever getting the pains, tingling, etc you're asking about. Maybe it's because i'm a male...or i just don't remember.

Just like after a trip from the dentist, the feeling you have when the numbness begins to fade and the pain takes affect. I just started taking Detrol LA again last Friday and could not find any related side effect except for joint pain. I have been searching online everywhere for answers. I will not be able to see a doctor for another four days (if I can be seen on Black Friday). Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing all of this trouble? Should I be worried? Thank you very much.

More fuel for the fire, but 2 32oz bottles a day or you will get dehydrated on the medicine I am about to recommend. For me, Detrol LA, Vesicare, Enablex didn't do anything for me.They helped, but not fully or it gave up entirely on me. The miracle pill that worked for me is Sanctura XR. It is expensive. $100 via mail order for a 3 month bottle. It really works. 92% of the OAB is gone if not more. Problem is the side effects are common. For me, I have every side effect.

I worked for a urologist and we used a TENS unit type treatment called Uroplasty, that stimulates the tibial nerve with aids with bladder control. Detrol LA is also the highest recommended urinary incontinence treatment by physicians. Hope this helps a little.

Yes, both cystoscopes showed bladder lining clear and pink, no irritation, got the microlab back today and no cancer cells, so that was good, only thing abnormal was the WBC Esterase was abnormal and Urologist said back to stronger antibiotic, Doxcycycline, and Detrol La to relieve muscle spasm... does that sound like urologist is on the right track? Thank you for your reply.

I have been on Elmiron and never experienced bad dreams. The Elmiron never did what it was supposed to so they ended puting me on Detrol LA. The only thing from Elmiron that I can remember was nausea. All the best.

My PCP put me on Detrol LA years ago, it was the only MS symptom I had at the time, not that we knew it was related to MS at the time. Hind sight, anyway the Detrol LA has really settled down the sudden and frequent urges. I still drink a lot of water, but now its more "normal" and go any where from 20 minutes to an hour. I start slowing down on the amount of water in the late afternoon/evening, but still get up usually once a night, but life is much better.

He took another specimen and everything was clear. He gave me a weeks supply of Detrol LA.(not sure why because its not like I am having to go all the time I just feel like I do) I am still taking it on my third day. I am still not feeling normal. My belly feels bloated or full. I was just curious as to what could be making me feel this way and what should I do next. Is it my bladder or something else? Or can I still have an infection or could the infections have damaged my bladder?

Went to see another urologist who gave me Detrol LA and it worked! Now I go about one-half as many times as before. You need to find a doctor who can see if you have this very, very common condition. Good Luck to you.

Hi everybody ok heres my problem that maybe somebody knows what is wrong with me starting about a month ago i have been feeling pressure too pee and when i go little to nothing comes out and i have to go like every five min and that goes on for like a week or two and then it stops and im fine then after a week or two it comes back and it happens again the er sent a urine culture out and it came back fine and also the urology doctor did a urine test and it was fine he did a ultrasound of my bladd

Brackney, for some with food intolerance problems, dairy can cause constipation. Sorry to say, but it's true. Although most with 'dairy issues' say the lactose in the diary can cause diarrhea - which is true - for other the milk protein (casein) can really 'stop things up.' You may want to consider cutting out any and all dairy for a couple of weeks and see if things turn around. If they do, you may have part of an answer.

Pyridium works a little. I have Detrol LA I was taking before the surgery maybe I should start taking that one again. I just am tired of the toliet being my best friend. And yes the doctor should have advised me about the affects of the Percocet. I have never used narcotics for any lenght of time. It was a lesson learned. Thank you again.

Another piece of the puzzle seems to have dropped into place on my quest for dx... I have O bands present in my spinal fluid. I don't see my neuro till May, but maybe this will be the thing that secures a dx. Of the diseases out there that O bands would be in the CSF, I believe I've been tested for most if not all of them. If I had my choice, MS would be better than any of the others (I think). My GP said I'm very close to a diagnosis (he's said MS all along).

, but i have had Detrol-LA, vesicare and Oxytrol patch, biofeedback therapy, then an InterStim Therapy triiial, now i self cath 4-6 x day. Cyndi an dHEather are right, you can self cath and keep UTI at bay ,with good hygene, drinking enough water ( i know a catch 22!) and with supliments. My uro has giving me multiple refills for antibiotic to refil so i can jump on infection with i get one. DO those medicines you mention ease retention?

They will put you on the new medicines for overactive bladder like Detrol LA or Vesicare. As for the being thristy--sometimes this is a side effect of medicines but you really need to be checked by a doctor right away. Hope this helped and everything is fine.
