There is also Elavil a low dose tricyclic antidepressant that takes away pain if you have alot of pain and drugs like ditropan xl which relax the bladder and cut down on frequency/urgency/some discomfort and pain. I think a combination of these drugs usually gives people quite a bit of relief and also following the IC diet which you'll find at that website too. I don't think I have IC but probably overactive bladder and the ditropan xl has helped alot!
My urologist prescribed Ditropan, which I took for about a year, which helped at first. Flomax was added the following year, which again worked for awhile, but the symptoms returned after 6 months or so. The Flomax caused retrograde ejaculation, which bothered me because in the past, I had always shot a fairly substantial load when I ***.
I have had total bladdure failure and have taken Detrol and Ditropan with no good result. I am seeing the ururologist tomorrow and am worried that he will chalk this up to MS and tell me to live with it. Have any of you experienced this? Are there other remedies out there for this? I dont want to live with this, making me very upset. I appreciate it and thanks.
Hi,
You can ask your doctor to prescribe some antispasmodics, such as Ditropan, for relieving the bladder spasms. If the spasms are under control even the frequency will decrease to a considerable extent.
Additionally, you can also request prescription for some low-dose sedatives, maybe from the benzodiazepine group, to get you through the first week or so. Do not continue the sedatives longer than 10-12 days as they have the potential to cause dependence.
The Hyperhydrosis can be treated with Ditropan or its generic. A colleague took this on an as needed basis during stressful instances and he said it worked well. However, I don't think its related to the three other challenges you face: dandruff, eczema, and tinnitus. Each of these show signs of some underlying allergies.
There are skin allergy tests, blood (RAST) tests, and elimination tests.
On Aug. 16, 08 I took my 3yr old daughter in because she said her pee hurts. After doing a urinalysis it showed that she had an elevated wbc so they put her on amoxicillen she remained on that for 10 days. On the 7th day of the amox. she went back to have a repeat urinalysis when those test results came back it showed that the amox. wasn't working. So the Dr. prescribed Septra on Aug.25th She remained on that for 10 days. On the fourth day off the Septra the "bad pee" was back.
Same problem here!! This morning we started on ditropan.....hopefully we will have some success....but i have tried it all!! So frustrating....aand she is so embarrased about it. Its so hard! we did diapers for awhile which she loved because she didnt have to go through everyone knowing what she did. Today is the first day in over a month that she has gone to school without a diaper!!
Did you ever find the right medication for your overactive bladder? I am now on Sanctura. I'm almost finished with the two week trial.
When I was first diagnosed with this problem, my doctor didn't think I had to change my lifestyle at all. I asked him about coffee in the morning, and he said go ahead and have a cup. It shouldn't matter.
I have already tried Detrol and Ditropan. Each one for two weeks. They didn't help my problem at all. I am now on Sanctura . . been on it for less than two weeks. I stopped all caffeine drinks about a week ago. I don't know if the Sanctura is helping my problem, or the lack of caffeine in my diet. But, I've been somewhat better. I still have some urgency at times, and I'm ok until I lift heavy packages or bear down to have a bowel movement.
s syndrome). He takes Ditropan daily and self-catheterizes five times a day. We are interested in finding out more about biofeedback. Does anyone have any experience with or information on biofeedback for on neurogenic neurogenic bladder?
He claims that he does not even feel that he is a bit wet. I have taken him to the doctor and had him tested for everything. His doctor put him on Ditropan. I did not use it because he stoped wetting his pants. Now He is wetting at school everday. I do not know what to do. The school wants him in pull ups and he refuses to go to school if I put one on him. The doctor said to give him the medicine but i dont think that he needs it because this just comes and goes.
She does take Detrophen XL frequently. I am not sure if it has any effect or she is just not satisfied with me. Any real advice, please? Thanks in advance!
Sometimes anticholinergic medications like oxybutynin (ditropan), detrol or vesicare may help. Please consult your doctor, he will prescribe appropriate medications for you.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
My daughter has suffered from this giggle incontinence since very young. She is getting ready to go to college, however, this condition has gotten so bad I don't think she can leave home. It is a daily occurance. It controls our lives. I have to work nights to be home to answer calls from school, take clothes, or be home (per school policy) when she leaves. It kills her when this happens. We have tried Ditropan, anaspaz (sp?), and Ritalin. NOthing worked. I'm at wits end.
Drugs such as oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan®) and tolterodine (Detrusitol®, Detrol LA®) are taken orally, once a day, for overactive bladder. You can consult your doctor for these options. Also, I suggest you can initiate antibiotics like ofloxacin for better management of the infection.
She has been on Detrol and prior Ditropan, neither helps at all. She has no trouble emptying bladder and does have quite a bit of urine when she goes to bathroom. There is mild incontinence. She is home and independent with good recovery from the stroke. She lives alone. Prior to stroke she was on estrogen for several decades. She is 85 years old. Is this from lingering neurological complications? Will this improve with time?
HI, Your problem sounds like overactive bladder. This is a bladder problem that is driven by urgency. The constant urge to void causes you to urinate frequently, usually causes you to get up at night to void, and about a third of patients have urge incontinence. It's not uncommon to see patients complain of this problem happening life long. The other problem that can cause your symptoms is Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
m still having a little problem with urgency issues though. The Urologist wants me to stay off of Ditropan until I see him in another 3 weeks to determine if I need to go back on it for that problem. As long as I no longer need the Depends, I'm fine with going back on Ditropan.
I highly recommend you find a good Urologist or GynoUrologist and have the sling surgery. My bladder is finally high and dry and I feel re-born.
The doctor said to stop taking the Ditropan, that might be causing your..side effects. Give it a day or so and if you're still experiencing them call us back."
When I try discussing with the nurse previously about what was happening and my concern with the obvious E.D.
We brought him to a pediatric urologist who did a UA/CS and it came back negative, and then we did a voiding sonogram of the bladder and kidney sonograms...all negative. We put him on Ditropan 10mg. for a month and it didn't help with the frequency or urgency.
Is this new symptom falling into what would be considered Tourette's, or OCD, or Pulchuria (probably spelt it wrong) or
maybe something else?
If anyone has any information to share, I would really appreciate it.
"Frequency of Urination" is fairly common post stent removal. I hate to say this, but call your urologist and ask for a 'bladder relaxer'. I've taken both Detrol & Ditropan, and had good luck with them, but there are a TON of others out there.
As for the constipation after taking the narcotic pain-killers, yup... it goes with the territory. Your doctor really should have advised you to take a stool-softener along with the Percocets. Lesson learned, I would say.
