Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "I am on my second month of this medication, and I am experiencing leg cramps (charley horses). Is anyone else having this effect on them? My results are very good. Need to keep evaluating this. Will check with you later with my latest effects."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I took Myrbetriq three times over a week. It stopped the urinary urgency it was prescribed to treat but caused serious dementia. I would not be able to function if I took this drug regularly. Dry mouth I could handle, not dementia."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "Decreased urinary frequency within the first 2 days of 25 mg per day. I've had mild GI symptoms that are very manageable. I have low back and hip pain that have become severe. This is my third week of the med. I do not want to give this med up... but can't take this pain. :/"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "I’d been taking 15 mg of Oxybutynin for years, it wasn’t the greatest but the best I’d known. Then I learned that Oxybutynin contributed to dementia, so I switched to Myrbetriq 6 months ago. If anything, the overactive bladder (OAB) worsened on Myrbetriq, in addition to heart palpitations. Recently, I purchased a product: “InControl,” which lists horsetail as an active ingredient. Much to my surprise, it works better than any prescription med I’ve tried!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I have been taking this medication for about 2 months. First, I took the 25 mg, it worked for a few weeks, then stopped, so I bumped it up to the 50 mg. It works, but I'm going. It doesn't stop working like the 25 mg did. Due to the side effects I'm having, I think I'm going to quit taking this medication. Headaches, confusion, blurry vision, leg cramps, high blood pressure, rapid heart beating, dry mouth, anxiety, not sleeping if I take it at night, UTI, chest tightness."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "Miracle drug when I started it three years ago. I had been on every drug before. Recently needed a bladder lift and hoped those new symptoms would stop. Now I have bad issues with urgency and can't make it to the bathroom. The Myrbetriq is not helping at all. In fact, I quit taking it a week ago and I seem better. I am getting ready to try the electrode implants in case this may be a nerve issue. I have been chasing this cure for more than 15 years."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "Been on Myrbetriq 50 mg daily for 4 weeks for overactive bladder. Had bad side effects of very high blood pressure and constant burning pain in bladder and in urethra when peeing! Ditropan worked better. I've been in agony. Dr. didn't pick up on the side effects of feeling like a constant bladder infection effects! I figured it out myself!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "This medication was a complete nightmare for me. At first, it even increased my frequency in needing to urinate. The side effects of this medication were unbearable for me, though, and it caused me to have to stop taking this medication even when I did start seeing slight improvement in my need to urinate after two weeks. I was being treated for migraines, and this medication brought my migraines back full force, and even my ocular migraines came back despite still being on my migraine treatment. I would experience typical headaches almost daily as well, lasting 1-3 hours and sometimes more than twice a day. I also experienced constipation, bloating, and mild to moderate upper abdominal pain. The constipation caused weight gain. Nausea as well."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "Took 25 mg first week, now started on 50 mg. First 3 days of increasing med started having increased frequency... I am talking every 15 mins or less. I hurt I have to go so much. Don't know if this is typical of this med, as I have read other reviews that state this. I will try it a couple more days to see if it improves, and if not will quit using. Dr. said this med doesn't cause the dry mouth like others, but mouth is slightly dry. Scares me about the B/P."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I've been taking it regularly for about a week. It was very helpful at first, and I sleep well. Now I'm in so much pain in the bladder and right kidney, mostly in my back. I'm starting to really worry. My blood pressure is really high, and I'm having blurred vision. Thank God I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow. That's if I don't have to go to the hospital."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I have been on Myrbetriq and Vesicare for about nine months. I had dry mouth and some heart racing, but didn't connect it to the medication. My migraines also occurred with more frequency, but again I didn't connect it to the medication until I read the entries on this site. Last week, all of a sudden, the drugs stopped working, and I became unable to control my bladder. I have to take Pyridium every eight hours, or I am in pain like I have a UTI, but my urine culture is clear. My doctor is scheduling me for Botox injections via cystoscopy. I hope it works because I can barely leave the house."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I have been on Myrbetriq for almost 4 years now, and it has been a lifesaver. I tried many other overactive bladder drugs on the market with no success. I even had an InterStim implant to control my bladder. The Myrbetriq worked better than anything else, and I even had my implant taken out. The Myrbetriq has everything under control, and I am so thankful to have found a drug that finally worked. I have had no side effects that often come with other drugs. My insurance will stop covering Myrbetriq as of Jan. 2017, so I am not sure what I am going to do. Myrbetriq has been my guardian angel for my bladder - I don't know where I'd be without it."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "I'm 73 years old. Had bladder lift surgery with hysterectomy. I was put on Myrbetriq 50 mg. My life went downhill. Mystery issues began that the doctor didn't mention. Couldn't understand cold symptoms, headache, sinus issues, lack of energy, bedridden for a week. Took 3 COVID tests... all negative. Till I pulled out the Myrbetriq med insert in the box! The doctor said to stop taking Myrbetriq to see what happens or go to my primary. Neither doctor was helpful. Now my legs are swollen 2x their size, and I'm heading to urgent care now!"

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I'm only 40 years old and after a lifetime of urgency and frequency - Myrbetriq has changed everything! I can remember being in my early teens and having dreadful pain throughout the day - it's been like that until now. I've been on 50 mg for about 3 weeks now, no real side effect yet. Except one that puzzles me - somehow it's relieved body and joint pain I've had for years. I have a couple of autoimmune diseases, so I always thought that pain was caused by that - and my doctors treated me for it too. I've tried finding information on if Myrbetriq somehow helps with pain, but I haven't found anything on it. Perhaps it's just a reaction I've had? It's just odd and I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but I can't help but assume."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I took this for 2 months. I felt terrible all the time. So tired I could barely motivate, and my heart raced out of my body. Told my doctor and have since stopped taking it. Went back to what I was taking for years with no problem."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "This medicine has literally changed my life. I couldn't go anywhere without feeling like I had to go to the bathroom and needing to know where a bathroom was. I could go to the bathroom and not even minutes later, I had to go again. This has been a life changer for me. I no longer get up multiple times in the middle of the night, and there's no longer a need to find out where a bathroom is immediately after leaving the house."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "Excellent remedy. Have taken Myrbetriq every morning for several years. A sample is not enough to start working, but I was thrilled with it quite quickly when prescribed it by an excellent specialist. I react adversely to things easily, but this is excellent. My insurance switched me to generic Mirabegron recently, which I am not so sure about, but I’m also drinking more water and having Semaglutide weight loss shots, which might make a difference. Getting extra weight off can’t hurt."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "50 mg/day helps a lot. Much better than 25 mg/day. I've experimented with 100 mg/day, and that's much better. I have dry pants at the end of the day for the first time in decades. No side effects, but insurance doesn't cover 100 mg/day."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I took this medicine for 2 weeks. The side effects are horrible. They started with very dry mouth and sinus, as I continued the drug, I developed blurry vision, headaches, joint pain that also caused weakness in my hands, chest pain, heart racing, diarrhea, upset stomach, and my hair fell out by the handful. I have been off the med for 3 days now and still feel awful."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I have been on this medication, 50 mg for about 1 1/2 years, and it changed my life. I had tried Vesicare and one more kind, and after 3 months, all of the other stopped. I give this a 100 out of 10. Downside, very expensive. I pay 275.00 a month until 1200 deductible met, and that's with insurance."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "After a day or two of taking this, my former feeling of incomplete emptying was gone, and it is a wonderful feeling! However, I've been excessively tired after 1-2 days of taking it, and both my mouth and sinuses are super dry, which has resulted in a bloody nose that never really heals. This medication seems to do the trick, which is awesome, but with these side effects, I'm done taking it. Oh well."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "Worked immediately on controlling my bladder; however, the upper respiratory hacking cough with accompanying sputum has hurt my chest and back. At times, the urge to cough has caused a choking sensation as well. Not worth the side effects for me."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "Took this medication at 50 mg. Within 3 days, lost consciousness, had to go to the ER by squad, and had horrible positional vertigo resulting in uncontrollable vomiting. No reason for this episode found after CT scan, EEG, and blood work. Drug interaction? I'm still a little dizzy 2 days later. Don't know if the episode was related to the drug, but I'm not taking it. Untested, too many potential drug interactions."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Incontinence "Myrbetriq is working very well for me. After one pill, I thought I felt a little relief. The second pill provided a bit more relief. I take one a day, and I haven't had any accidents. It's working very well for me with no side effects at all."

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) for Urinary Frequency "I have been on 25 mg of Myrbetriq for 15 months now for OAB. It has given me my quality of life back with normal frequency of urination. It is wonderful! There are mild side effects of slight weight gain and occasional gastric upset. These are well worth the positive effects of the drug. I plan to continue taking it!"
