Common Questions and Answers about How soon does vesicare work

vesicare

Avatar f tn I just started on Vesicare for my annoying bladder, and I was just wondering, I was told that my bladder problem was neurological. How does this med help something that is being caused by the CNS. Also, anyone else who has this bladder problem, along with the frequency, urgency, incontinence etc, do you ever get sharp pains, tingling (I know that should be a good thing right!
1056851 tn?1318720978 I'm taking 5mg of Vesicare, too. My neuro's PA wants me to take 10mg, but it dried out my mouth too much when I tried it. It works pretty good - it's not perfect. I still get incontinence - but maybe not so often. It has also reduced my urgency and frequency, but again, it's not perfect.
Avatar n tn d recommend anyway. Talk to your urologist about going off the Vesicare and see how you do. If it WAS just the anxiety and excitement surrounding the trip, you'll know soon enough. As for the anxiety and depression, just make sure your doctors are aware that you intend to try getting pregnant. Some medications you need to be off for several months before attempting pregnancy. Hopefully you can deal with both these issues in your therapy and not need meds.
Avatar n tn does anyone get headaches from taking vesicare?? They seen to go away with advil. Anyone had these symptons, did they lessen with longer use of vesicare??
721523 tn?1331581802 MY thinking is you might give it a try and see how it works for you. I am on Toviaz after trying a couple different bladder meds. Since I already have a serious problem with retention and do ISC, having the drugs add to that problem was not an issue. I just tap out a few times a day to keep it calm.
Avatar m tn I have been using VESICARE for some time now, it does decrease the number of visit to the bathroom, however when you stop using it...the problem comes back. Its like it just manages the active bladder but doesn't cure it. Been using it for more than 2 years now.
1188179 tn?1350116119 I have been on Ditropan, then Ditropan XR (or EX, don't remember which is correct) and after about 10 years that didn't work, so my doctor put me on Enablex and that works pretty well. Then I got a new Dr. and he wanted to switch me to Vesicare. That didn't work well, either, and I began having episodes of incontinence and urgency again. It's almost open enrollment for Medicare Part D, and the plan that is the most affordable otherwise doesn't cover Enablex at all anymore.
Avatar m tn 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...well, I called him back four days later...
5506662 tn?1369334325 I have 5 days till my due date and baby doesnt seem to want to come any time soon. The doctor said is I went to 41 weeks they would probably induce me. How exactly does that work? I thought it was just some kind of medicine they gave you through an IV but a friend said something about them sticking a needle up there. Im a little freaked out, could someone please explain it to me?
Avatar m tn I'm using Vesicare and Lyrica and I just got my urinalysis result and they're normal. Can Vesicare and Lyrica affect urinalysis? Are they antibiotics?
Avatar m tn I was put on Vesicare 5 mg daily and also was taking fluoxetine for depression and anxiety over this condition. After taking the meds for awhile my symptoms went away and I was symptom free for 3 years. Because of the expense of the vesicare and because I was doing so well. I decided to stop taking both medications. My bladder was fine and normal and then about a year later the symtoms came back. So I am now back on the vesicare and the fluoxetine.
Avatar m tn Started me on Levaquin 500mg PO QD x 7 days and Vesicare 10mg PO QD.The cyst went down but the pain around the epdidymis persisted w/ no change. After 4 weeks of Vesicare I still have no change in my nocturia. I had an ultrasound of my bladder, testicles, kidneys all normal. I then had a cystoscopy done which showed no abnormalities besides a tight sphincter. My urologist told me to continue the Vesicare which I have been doing.
333672 tn?1273792789 Yes, I know that's a weird question. I am going for a urodynamics test in January and in preparation I have to do a voiding diary for two days where I write down everything I drink, how often I pee, and how much comes out. I feel like I go to the bathroom a lot (but I also drink a lot) so I was just wondering how often everyone else goes. So if you're interested, take a 24-hour period, count how many times you go to the bathroom and answer these questions.
Avatar f tn I have been prescribed Lyrica please can anyone tell me How soon should I expect to get relief. I'm in so much pain at the moment it doesnt seem to have made helped at all.
Avatar f tn I have been on bc for 13 years and wondering if it takes a while for you body to adjust? Im sure it does but how long! My cycles are 28 days! I am now 5 days late! For the last week and a half I have very sharp pain in my stomach that were not like mentral cramps with nausea and for the last 3 days I've had cramping like menstral cramps and still nothing! I've takin 2 tests both negative but I think it would be too early for morning sickness or to show a positive pt.
Avatar n tn i had a cmg test done today and the nusre told me it was the worst case of bladder spasm that she has ever seen and brought in other medical staff to see this they have put me on vesicare tablets 10 mg and i am wondering if there is anything else can be done i am worried in case it means i need to be catherterised because of this how likely is this ?
Avatar f tn I was unable to get an early appointment and was advised by the consultants secretary that I was not a priority and reminded that there were other people who had cancer.I then tried vesicare medication however reacted quite badly to this in terms of stomach cramps etc.
Avatar m tn 4)mg but the urge to urinate was there all the time so my doctor added (Vesicare 5mg). It was good for few weeks but then the urge got stronger and I was again given Bactrim DS for 4 weeks and now even with Bactrim DC I am not feeling any better. Few days back the doctor increased the dose of Floamx to 0.8 mg and stopped the Vesicare. It did not help and the urge to urinate is there all the time and there is tightness in the bladder. I also took Celebrex for few days and it helped a little bit.
